‘s ‘Running Wheel’ is a fun, interactive, sculpture with an engaging design and multiple levels of interpretation. Twenty-six realistic legs in a wheel formation symbolize the 26 miles of a marathon. Viewers can spin the sculpture and the blur the legs create is similar to the sea of legs observed in a large road race, like the Boston Marathon. The sculpture represents the democratic nature of the sport of running, can also be seen as a metaphor for a marathoner’s endless routine, or for the busy lives people lead.
