Symbiosis, Public sculpture at Howard University, United States.
The 75-foot-long abstract sculpture features two large bronze pieces at opposite ends, representing hands reaching toward each other across the space.
The sculpture was dedicated to Howard University on December 2, 1981, as a gift from Board of Trustees member Hobart Taylor Jr.
The steel sculpture, created by Richard Hunt, reflects themes of connection on the campus of Howard University, a center of African American education.
Located at 2397 6th Street Northwest near the Armour J. Blackburn University Center Building, the sculpture rests directly on the ground without a base.
The metal structure, valued at $50,000 in 2004, maintains its original finish with a natural patina developed over four decades of outdoor display.
