The Annual Reconfiguration of the abstract sculpture: the end of March of each calender year.

The Abstract Black Metal Sculpture, a split dodecahedron, at Armenian Heritage Park on the Green way is reconfigured in celebration of the immigrant experience. The annual reconfiguration commemorates all who were pulled away from their country of origin and came to these Massachusetts shores reconfiguring their lives in new and different ways, contributing to the richness of the American life and culture.

The Labyrinth symbolizes the career avenues the Armenian immigrants have taken to recreate their lives within the Boston area. Art, Sciences, Commerce and Education are the pathways of these tormented peoples in their own homeland in 1925.

The fountain in its center, symbolizes hope for the future ceasing of the genocide of Armenian people and any and all future people of this earth.

About The Author

Joseph R. Gallo Jr. is not a historian nor a sculptor. He is a student and great appreciator of both academic fields. Trained as an educator and being an entrepreneur, he felt a need to reach out to the thousands of visitors who come to our historical city teaching them through this guidebook the purpose and reason why such beautiful works of art embellish our fair City of Boston. Compiling updated photos and historical text for the resurrection of a much needed simple-to-use guidebook Boston Bronze and Stone Speaks To Us was time consuming, but fulfilling. The purpose and meaning of these monuments is made more lucid with the structuring of this new book.
