Description:

This public art piece is in remembrance of those we have lost to COVID-related deaths. Working with the community, RPGA Studio collected stories that inspired the ceramic relief tiles attached on the concrete border of the reflection pond. The pond is a mirrored acrylic pane that reflects the sky above and the individual looking down at the pond. Leaf boats serve as a space for community members to put flowers, silent notes to reach loved ones.
