From the brochure on public art by the Pittsburgh Arts Council:

"Discobolus was made for the 1994 Three Rivers
Arts Festival. The work plays with the relationship
of positive and negative space. The Festival’s
exhibition catalogue explains that “the series is
about conversation and interaction between two
or more beings.” If you focus on the negative space
between the two wooden forms, you see the discus
thrower Discobolus, a symbol of strength, hope,
and determination."
