LOVE PILLAR & THE MOMENTS THAT TOLD US

Some places stay with us. Some ideas echo louder than we expect. This one I call Love Pillar. Because everywhere I’ve been, everywhere we are: love is the stake we keep leaning into.

I often ask: What does love look like in stone and steel? How does it sit in the air between people? In 2022, I presented Love Pillar in front of the Museum of Art. The piece stands 32 feet tall, composed of stacked forms that lean toward one another—yet never touch.

Over the months, I visited the site at dawn and dusk. I watched how the shadow of the pillar fell across passersby. Sometimes, the shapes resolved into human forms; sometimes they fractured like broken hearts.

I hope when you see Love Pillar, you don’t just see something standing. You see space, intention, connection. You see a light shining between what doesn’t touch. — Kai
