Three Women

This one titled “Three Women” by Akio Takamori is in front of the Whole Foods Market in Seattle. All three of them have a weird expression on them and I noticed that they weren’t looking at each other. I actually thought the one facing us is a guy, till I read the title of the sculpture and the description. Here’s the description from the meta arte website.

“Drawing on memories from his childhood in Japan, Akio Takamori’s Three Women is a collection of cast-aluminum sculptures depicting a girl, a young woman and mother with her baby. The figures are all about the same size, suggesting that these three people are of equal prominence in Takamori’s mind’s eye. Though they have come together and stand facing one another, they aren’t interacting, preferring instead to avoid each other’s eyes and keeping a close watch on the space around them.”
