Some public artworks serve a specific purpose while others, like Unparallel Way by Emily Weiskopf, an American artist, simply brighten up people's days in an abstract way. It is a vibrant yellow squiggly sculpture that might bring to mind the lifeline of a person in a hospital.
Inspired by people's state of mind, Unparallel Way by Emily Weiskopf is located in Brooklyn, New York. The artist writes, "In New York City it is often all about creating our own road and figuring out how to get there the quickest." Inspired by the yellow line found on roads, it buckles up and down in order to encourage people to take a moment to stop and smell the roses.
Playful and fun, Unparallel Way by Emily Weiskopf might make people get off their path as well.
