Decoding the Tree of Life - by Maya Lin 2021
AO Glass is proud to announce the completion of Maya Lin’s “Decoding the Tree of Life” in the new UPenn Medical center in Philadelphia. Contracted by UAP, an international art fabrication company, and with guidance from Keer Foundries, AO Glass provided over 15,500 hand-blown glass spheres that wrap around a 38 foot high metal armature in the hospital’s main atrium, reflecting the sunlight that streams across Penn Medicine’s new Pavilion.
As patients and visitors enter the Pavilion, they’re greeted with Lin’s incredible artwork, which conveys a sense of peace and healing.
Rich Arentzen, Co Owner of AO Glass said, “It was a true honor to participate in creating a monumental artwork from one of the world’s most visionary sculptors.”
