An abstract sculpture recalling Los Angeles Harbor's importance to the shipping industry and the Angel's Gate Lighthouse at the harbor entrance. Twin spires above the central container ship image evoke the shape of the nearby Vincent Thomas Bridge. From the verdigris on the surface, I'm guessing this is made of bronze. It was placed in 1994 and stands in the circular entrance to the day care center (WorldTotsLA)at Harbor Boys & Girls Club, in the Liberty Hill Plaza of the Beacon Street Redevelopment.

Many of the artist's other works can be seen here.
