Socrates Sculpture Park, Long Island City, N.Y.
This park is filled with contemporary art and sculpture. This sculpture is unusual because it is exactly the same front and back. I posted the two photos I took so you could see that.
*cenotaph: a sepulchral monument erected in memory of a deceased person whose body is buried elsewhere.
**paverpol: used in fabric sculpting

What an extraordinary work and who is the memorial for?
That's a great idea ! I mean the sculpture and the picture for Monochrome. It couldn't be better in color.
I love this unusual idea to create a double "face" sculpture.
How awesome! I was so um dumb lol for a minute because I couldn't figure it out. I slowed down and read though (amazing how that works isn't it?) and I really think it's cool!
amazing!!
The front and the back are the same? That is wild, I love it.
So does he know if he's coming or going?
Fascinating! Now I want to see it from the side. (Ha! Only kidding.)
I'm a bit slow, but then when I scrolled down I got it.
I guess I need more coffee...Happy Wednesday!
That's such interesting sculpture. Great shots Mary.
It's the same front and back? Wow, that's creative!!
That is the first time I have ever seen one like this. thank you for sharing this with us.
What a remarkable piece of work. also I finally got your site added to my blog roll.
About time I know...sorry I just never thought to do it until now because of the badges.
You have so many awesome shares this week for us.
Now I'm off to catch up on RT.:-)

Wonderful idea and perspective in these photos! I finally participated for the first time in Monochrome Monday at Small Reflections this week but haven't had time to visit until today.
Hugs and blessings,
