Materials: Steel
Siblings is a steel sculpture depicting two intertwined forms, rendered through flowing, organic, three-dimensional linework. The figures are individual yet inseparable, symbolizing connection, kinship, and shared experiences. Set along Two Ponds Loop, Siblings align with the surrounding setting as light, color, and reflection pass through the form. The subtle interaction with Bernheim’s landscape reinforces themes of unity and coexistence.
Location: On the Forest Giant Trail along Olmsted Ponds.
