Korean War Memorial, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This memorial intends to symbolize and express the life spirit of those who served, directly and indirectly, in the Korean War. It is a marker for the array of human qualities nurtured by the freedom we protect and is positioned and shaped to capture sunlight. As the sun travels the horizon, columns of light articulate, sequentially, aspects of the human spirit, experience and feeling. Through solid and void, light and shadow, the sun traces a spectrum of individual and shared experience. It is hoped this memorial will become a welcome place; that it can evoke memory, emotion and vision through the eyes of each visitor.
