Note: Bibliographic references are at end. Sustainable cities "Despite the fact that the 'sustainable city' discourse is now relatively mature, precise conceptualizations are rare and contested." "All interest sectors involved in achieving sustainable urban development have genuine but differing 'visions' of the future. … these 'ideals, and the debates about them, remain within their discrete worlds and are rarely acknowledged or understood outside their expert communities."
The sculpture began with wanting to process grief. One of my brothers passed away in his sleep (unrelated to Covid) in 2020 after pandemic travel restrictions made it impossible to gather for a funeral. Over the course of my making, which is processbased -an intuitive approach to materials and methods -the form evolved into a tree with three moons. The tree is a crosscultural symbol of loss and renewal. Each month we can observe, too, the moon appearing and disappearing from view, a metaphor for the ephemeral nature of existence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
