Artist Lucy Keshavarz was selected to design a permanent site specific public art project as part of a new four-story residential rental development in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida. New Life features three contemporary sculptural facades that create a visually dynamic dialogue between the building and the street. For this project, Keshavarz used glass mosaic tiles, metal, stone, and created sculpted glazed tiles -- classic materials selected to evoke nature's elements and for their ability to complement the surrounding architecture and environment. Keshavarz was inspired by the Tree of Life, an ancient and widespread motif that celebrates the interconnectedness of all living things. New Life creates artistic focal points for urban living and reminds us of our connection to the natural world.
