Description: The ‘Life’ monument consists of two sculptures, 18 feet and 9 feet in height, that stand firmly in the historic entrance of the iconic New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Each sculpture is composed of a series of steel rings with different heights and radiuses assembled on top of each other and shifted from the vertical axis to create two dynamic and iconic shapes. While being visually unstable, the two towers maintain their internal stability. Life is fragile and vulnerable, yet strong and resilient. Life is about finding that unique balance between inner and outer forces that unfold during our existence.
