EMBRACED LOOP received Merit CODA Award at Landscape Category from CODAWORX, 2024.
I am so thankful to be featured in the book THE ECONOMIC POWER OF PUBLIC ART!!
Thanks, CODAworx for highlighting my work, whose contributions to the public art sector are exemplified in the project, SOLAR HIVE. This project showcases a self-sustaining organism installation that invites people to enter and experience a media facade powered entirely by solar energy. By day, solar cells charge, and by night, visitors are treated to a dynamic display of illuminated hexagonal vibrant colors.
Public Art Commissions Totaled $4.4 Billion in 2023.
The Economic Power of Public Art features Anaisa Franco.
CODAworx, the hub of the public art economy, has released comprehensive data estimating the size of this creative industry, along with revelations about the economic impact of the public art sector. This first annual groundbreaking study reveals that in 2023, the public art sector made a substantial economic contribution surpassing $4.4 billion.
“We are thrilled to announce this eye-opening valuation of the public art industry,” said Toni Sikes, CEO of CODAworx. “This data underscores the economic significance of public art. We are excited to give readers a peek under the cover of this invisible economy – which is actually a flourishing ecosystem of creative magicians.”

We are happy to announce that EMBRACED LOOP, an HIV and AIDS NATIONAL MONUMENT developed in collaboration with Michael DiCarlo for the Phoenix Park in Dublin, Ireland won the international Public art competition.
Our proposal uses as a concept an abstraction form of the HIV symbol, the red ribbon to create a parametric shape where the rope loop closes creating an embrace of solidarity, where people can hang out together, bringing a feeling of community.
Artwork underdevelopment to be completed in winter 2023.
