"Truth Is Beauty," a sculpture by Marco Cochrane
Stainless Steel, 2018
This is a later, reduced-scale version of the original figure, completed in 2013, that was displayed at that year's Burning Man festival in Nevada.
The original work is now located in San Leandro, California. My photographs of it are here: flic.kr/s/aHsmuN3vS3
The figure is accompanied by the question "What would the world be like if women were safe?"

Excerpt from interpretive sign: "Many places exist for celebration, but few places are created to honor the universal experience of grieving and loss. This is such a place. Please respect it for its solemn purpose."
