👋 Annalise here. I've passed this massive statue behind the DIA countless times, but only recently did I catch its name, which I enjoy: "Young Woman and Her Suitors."
Go, young woman, you get those suitors!
Now, when I walk by it, I like to imagine which pieces of steel are her and which are her suitors — and also, which of the suitors are worth the effort, and which need to be kicked to the curb.
