In November 2009 The Boston Arts Commission gave final approval for the sculpture "Reach" (pictured above.) The artwork, a monumental hand reaching up, is composed of 5 - 8" x 8" stainless steel tubes.
The sculpture symbolizes the immigrant experience of reaching up to climb the ladder of success in America. A spring 2010 installation is planned.
