Sculptures by Jonathan Russell and Saori Ide

The circles symbolize unity, harmony, and balance. Organic forms within these circles emphasize the delicate balance between us and nature. The base of the sculpture is designed to mimic the feel of the old Ocean View rollercoaster. 

The wind derived motion of the circles, along with the independently moving copper elements within them, invites viewers to join in a silent dialogue of discovery and enjoyment.

We learned about the incredible perseverance of the local residents as they fought (all the way to the Supreme Court) to bring their park into existence. Our sculpture, standing tall and strong like the live oak trees in this park, celebrates this Ocean View neighborhood and its resilient and supportive community.
