Summary:
Two bronze abstract sculptures set into five story concrete panels on building at 21 Charles Street. One sculpture is located on the Charles Street side of the building and the other on the Franklin Street side. The Charles Street sculpture is reminiscent of a South Sea icon, with uptilted arc at top and two opposing paddle shapes, four rectangles and a broken downward curving bent arc. The Franklin Street side sculpture is an array of 17 bent and broken pieces arranged in a vague double cruciform shape with pieces spreading out horizontally at the top and bottom.
