"Equilateral Network"
An Artistic Social Distancing Lawn Art Design
Lisa Marie Studio
By LOVE Mural Artist Lisa Marie Thalhammer
Sponsored by the DowntownDC BID
In partnership with the National Building Museum
Tasked with creating an outdoor artwork that would allow visitors to safely enjoy being together while social distancing, Lisa Marie's design pieces together a series of pink equilateral triangles and walking paths, comfortably spaced 6 feet apart from each other. Inspired by Pierre Charles L'Enfant's use of sacred geometry in his original 1791 city plan for Washington, DC, Lisa Marie chose to focus her design on equilateral triangles as symbols of balance and justice. The use of color is also an important element to this artwork, as rainbow spectrums and pink triangles are both historic symbols of identity and gay rights activism. Artist Lisa Marie states that, "This balanced, steady and strong geometry is highlighted in a proud pink amongst a healing full-color rainbow spectrum and is meant to inspire feelings of calm, unity, peace, equity and joy." |
