Sculpture and structure
A sculpture that's outside of 7 WTC (not shown).It's a 9ft,multi-lobed,stainless steel artwork called "Balloon Flower (Red)"by Jeff Koons.The sculpture mimics-on a colossal scale-twisted balloon creations,a staple at children's parties.7 WTC as you may remember was the last WTC building to collapse on 9/11.The new 7 WTC was the first of the WTC complex towers to be constructed.The artist had hoped that the sculpture would convey a message of cheer in a time of somberness.When I saw the sculpture a few years ago my reaction to it certainly was not that of cheerfulness,but more like,"What is it?"

The white structure behind it is a transportation hub called the Oculus.I had taken some photos of its interior and shared them with you before.The structure is supposed to resemble a dove with clipped wings.See links
