“The Life Force sculpture is a symbolic threshold between physical and spiritual realms.”
Life Force is a symbolic threshold between the physical and spiritual realms. Its interplay of space and form evokes the presence and absence of beloved souls who have left this Earth, yet remain in our hearts. Its mirrored surfaces reflect ourselves, within the life-force energy that flows through and connects all beings, inviting contemplation of the mystery of our existence.
Curving Art Nouveau–inspired arabesques frame a human-shaped portal woven with spirals of DNA. The reflective figure’s energetic field radiates outward, its chakras ascending toward an eye symbolizing expanded consciousness. A mirrored circle suggests the soul’s return to wholeness—pure consciousness and love.
Through memory and action, we carry those we love, honoring them by living with integrity and passing their light to future generations.
Rest in power, Steven Taylor.

Life Force was created to honor Steven Taylor, of San Leandro CA. Steven was a young black man who’s innocent life was tragically cut short by police violence.
In an effort towards healing and reparations, the City of San Leandro is creating the Steven Taylor Sanctity of Life Pavilion, a peaceful gathering place for community and contemplation.
Deep thanks to the family of Steven Taylor, and the City of San Leandro arts and culture commission, with art commissioner Dorka Keehn, who entrusted me with this profoundly spiritual public art memorial.
