Located in Dubuque, Iowa, Skyward is a soaring spiral of steel beckoning from the end of a curving footbridge. The art installation is designed to evoke the last moments of Father Aloysius H. Schmit, a chaplain in the United States Navy who gave his life rescuing sailors during the attack on Pearl Harbor. A contemplative refuge, the conical shape coils upon itself, enveloping visitors with a pattern to suggest rainfall. 听
Local veterans were asked to name an emotional response they would want to evoke. 黄瓜社区 artists and landscape architects worked together to create a concept that would bring forth respect, honor, sacrifice, serenity and gratitude. Sited as the pinnacle element, the steel installation听culminates the journey along the memorial pathway with an invitation to enter.听
