Description
The Living Pyramid and the Manhattan Skyline - Dora Sofia Caputo
Image of this amazing Living Pyramid captured today at Socrates Sculpture Park located across the East River on Long Island City, New York. On the other side of the river one can see the Manhattan's Upper West Side skyline.
The pyramid, created by artist Agnes Denes, has been made of tens of thousands of plants and wildflowers growing from a mound of soil, which will later bloom into flowers and grasses, and will be on display through the end of summer 2015.
The work, "The Living Pyramid," is Denes' first major public piece in the city since 1982, when she planted a two-acre wheat field in lower Manhattan's Battery Park, according to Socrates.
"What [pyramids] all convey is the human drama, our hopes and dreams against great odds," Denes said in a press release about her project.
"Transformed into blossoms, the pyramid renews itself as evolution does to our species," she added.
