New Leaf, Metal sculpture at Georgia Avenue-Petworth Metro Station, United States.
The large metal leaf sculpture rests on a two-step platform near the entrance of Georgia Avenue-Petworth Metro Station in Washington D.C.
In 2007, artist Lisa Scheer installed this public artwork following a 2004 call by the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities for Metro area enhancement.
The metal sculpture incorporates a poem by E. Ethelbert Miller celebrating the natural movement of leaves: 'every leaf surrenders to air we dance we flutter we touch the earth'.
The New Leaf sculpture serves as a meeting point for the 2,855 daily commuters using the Green Line station at Georgia Avenue intersection.
The abstract form of the leaf, created by Washington D.C. sculptor Lisa Scheer, represents the cycles of growth and seasonal changes in the urban environment.
