DescriptionAccording to Ethan Kerber, “through art, a space can be transformed into an experience.” His creation, Inspiration, does exactly this. Inspiration integrates urban and modern elements to reflect how we all create an individual sense of place within a world of urban environments. According to Kerber, the series of footprints which turn and climb along the abstract shape represent “the relationships between how space is created by the paths we walk within its context.” Kerber’s design is part of the development plan of Mount Vernon Triangle, which continues to transform the area into a positive experience.
