Many Directions - Only One Destiny 2021

assemblage, 22 x 22 x 21 cm

This work is intended to explore the relationship between free will and fate. This is represented in the form of a stylized fanciful street intersection sign. The sign is constructed using an assemblage of wooden and acrylic rods; with 3D-printed connectors being used to support the sign. The many rods represent the many free will choices for routes and destinations that may exist during one’s life. However, only one rod is painted blue. It may be the direction of our destiny.

About Jack Rosenfarb

The artist was born in Brussels Belgium and emigrated to the United States in 1952. He is a retired geotechnical engineer and university professor who had over 30 years of experience with major infrastructure and building projects in the United States. His professional life allowed him to work with many architectural and structural engineering firms. Of particular interest to the art world, he was on the design teams for new exhibition buildings for both the world-famous Pierpont Morgan Library in 2005, and The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York in 2015.
