Jonathan Borofsky
Lightning, 1997

Borofsky’s artwork consists of a nine-foot high steel silhouette surrounded by three angled, yellow lightning bolts. This piece offers viewers a childlike view of lightning. The figure at the center of the sculpture is a human presence, which is not defined as either male or female. Viewers are meant to interact with the artwork, and can walk through the central space created by the bolts themselves.
