Description: Constructed of linear tubes of aluminum and steel jutting at oblique angles, Paciencia stands thirty-one feet high and creates a bright visual statement against the massive South Miami Metrorail Station. Painted a vivid yellow, the elements wrap around each other in a circular, rising motion that gives a fluidity and lightness of feeling, in contrast to the heavy, static forms with which they are created.
