Rising Star

Completion: 2020

Location: City of Richardson Safety Complex

Description: Rising Star features a vertical, twisting star form that will function as a sculptural beacon celebrating the public safety institutions of the City of Richardson, the bond of first responders, engagement with the community, and the strength of diversity. The sculpture is composed of numerous stainless-steel panels that will express a dynamic woven quality. In Rising Star, weaving becomes a metaphor for a community continually growing together with those who protect and serve. At night, the sculpture is dramatically illuminated from within, becoming a warm and welcoming beacon for the city.
