HOUSTON (KTRK) — A new art installation near downtown is now officially a part of Houston. While it’s meant to celebrate the city’s diversity, the idea for it was born out of a tragedy.
They’re symbols of tolerance and harmony; seven mighty stainless steel human figures representing the seven continents resting along the banks of Buffalo Bayou. From a distance, they all look the same but up close they’re all different — created with the characters from the alphabets of nine different languages.
“This really speaks to the notion that — and not to make a pun of it — the idea that we are from multiple cultures, multiple languages but we are one humanity,” Dr. Mahmoud Eboo with the Aga Khan Foundation said.
