Match-Maker: Times Square
Valentine Heart

Research

Times Square (NYC), New York

The Match-Maker cosmically connects people on Valentine’s Day. Guided by their zodiac sign, visitors arrange themselves at twelve points around the heart-shaped sculpture. Peering through colorful, interwoven periscopes provide glimpses of each viewer’s four most ideal astrological mates, offering potential novel connections between lonely souls or settled lovers. The form of the sculpture is elusive, complex, symmetrical, and changes as viewers experience it from different vantage points.  From certain positions it forms a perfect and iconic heart; from other perspectives it is tangled and perplexing.
