DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — The sculpture “Beacon, 2019” by Michael Alfano has been intriguing people walking by Brooklyn Borough Hall’s east courtyard since it was installed there in early August.
The bronze and aluminum artwork takes on a different aspect depending upon the angle of view.
On his website, Alfano describes the piece as “the profile of a child’s face, which resembles a candle flame shining their light into the world. The hard, bronze material is designed so as to form a wispy, light profile.”
