Lovers Rock

Our modern world can make people feel isolated even in our dense and culture-rich borough of Brooklyn. Lovers Rock is an idea for a sculpted space of interaction developed to bring people together. The design aligns a series of fourteen 600lb. stone blocks to add a sense of permanence and timelessness to the surrounding environment. The corkscrew-shaped stacked blocks bring a touch of playfulness and intrigue, framing a unique view and encouraging in-person face-to-face time. The sculpture serves a variety of purposes–a work of art, a bench, a lounge chair, a children’s play structure, and a landmark. The project is intended as a mobile or permanent installation for a public space.
