Monterey Park, California held a sculpture of "Athena" by Peter N. Snyder in the 1920s. It mysteriously disappeared in the 1930s and was only replaced in 2005. In 2016, I proposed to temporarily install my work "Eve" next to the replaced Athena. The proposal was withdrawn upon learning the complicated history of the original statue. I created "Garden of Seasons" and a video at Vincent Price Museum to explore Athena's significance, suggesting that the beauty of enduring forms is tied to the people who surround them.
