Manhattan-based artist Pasha Radetzki created the Love-Ego=LOV art sculpture which is a familiar design as it is reminiscent of the LOVE artwork by Robert Indiana. The new interactive art highlights a typo and it is on the lawn of Union Square.
It means to create conversation on topics of self, love, and the balance that exists between the two ideas. The sculpture is made from bright plywood materials and it has three bright colors that read 'L' in green, 'O' in yellow, and 'V' in magenta pink. Radetzki speaks about the structure, stating “Creating Love-Ego=LOV has been a deeply personal exploration of unity in the lively tapestry of our urban NYC environment. This project represents my journey as an artist and a first-generation American to find connection and collaboration in my new home.”
