Sculpture, Annual Reconfiguration

Annually the Sculpture - a split dodecahedron resting on a 16-foot diameter Reflecting Pool - will reconfigure to commemorate lives lost during the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923 and all genocides, and to celebrate the lives of all who came to these shores and reinvented themselves in new and creative ways.
