The Pillar of Fire
The Pillar of Fire, a new sculpture in Washington, D.C., draws its inspiration from the Book of Exodus, and serves to honor healthcare workers on the front lines of the AIDS pandemic. The sculpture is comprised of 370 egg-shaped layers of float glass. The slender column stands 16 feet high, weighs 2,000 pounds and is rigidly post-tensioned to 15,000 pounds.
