Description
Catherine Widgery’s three-part outdoor sculpture offers a whimsical look at the relationship between nature and the human order of things. A polar bear atop a pyramid of star constellations, a man inside a rocket ship-like cone and a tree enclosed in a metal cylinder — all complement the building’s design while playfully inviting observers to reflect on the timeless balance between nature and people.
