Description: “Big Bang” is a project study for two permanent freestanding sculptures created as a site-specific installation for the 53^rd–54^th Street Plaza in Midtown Manhattan. “Big Bang” is a symbolic imagining of the expansion of energy emanating from a singularity. The energy flowing from a single point evokes the unfolding mysteries of life in all its variations and possibilities. The sculptures’ different colors, intensities, and shapes recall these variations and possibilities in a visually powerful way for the viewer. New York City is a symbolic hub from which different, coexisting cultural, racial, and religious identities radiate joy, creativity, cooperation, and liberty to the world.  At first glance, the installations explore this idea of a city that radiates energy and, figuratively, they reference the organic upward growth of the city’s skyscrapers.
