Orbital Connector 1988

by Hera

This permanent public sculpture for Governor Smith Houses in New York’s Chinatown integrates sculpture and landscape elements with a symbolic message of international community.

The great circle route that connects China, the Caribbean and the Smith Houses is indicated by a 42 foot galvanized steel arrow pointing northwest.

The arrow passes through a sphere of six orbital rings of steel letters spelling out the names of the tenants’ places of origin.
