- Building Blocks was created as a visual landmark and social gathering place within the San Juan Federal Campus. This artwork was inspired by the richness of life, vibrant colors, and public squares of Puerto Rico. The sculpture could be interpreted as an abstract family portrait or the imagined skyline of a new San Juan, where art and everyday life are one and the same.
