From 7 February - 31 July 2017, Dante Park, across from the Lincoln Center in New York City, is the temporary home of a beautiful statue, named: Hippo Ballerina. She is part of an art installation by Danish sculptor Bjorn Okholm Skaarup. She is over 15 feet tall (4.57 m), weighs 2.5 tons, and is made of bronze and copper.
I have been people watching for a while, sitting on one of the chairs, very close to the statue. It was so nice to see people interact and react. Most people started to smile right away when spotting her. Something I understand oh so well :-).
