![Checked out these two #red art installations at this little Hayes Valley Park called Patricia's Green along Octavia. Wanted to see the iconic David Best's Temple Structure that was first seen in Burning Man,since 2005 but it was already replaced by these two Geometric 12 sided Dodecahedron pieces called Trillian And Dodi.
The laser cut tiles were inspired by mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose. Co-creator Yelena Filipchuk quoted that :“The Penrose Tiling pattern carries a deep significance for our artwork,” “It represents the eternal and relentless search for a connecting thread in the universe. It is this quest which ties all of humanity together.”
We call these works “Burning Man art”, but only one of these sculptures has actually been to Burning Man. “Dodi [the smaller one] has been to Burning Man twice, 2014 and 2015,” Beaulieu said. “Trillian is brand new.”](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/2/351ce442316dd99b8f57f31c192a1d06.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh)
