About This Installation
Installed at Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas, Be Brave transforms a simple message into a place for gathering, reflection, and interaction.
Constructed entirely from recycled HDPE, the sculpture functions as both artwork and public seating. Visitors are encouraged to sit, gather, photograph, and experience the piece from every angle.
The work is inspired by a simple reminder:
“Be brave to be you. You are unique and incredible, never forget that. Every day, wake up, go out into the world, and be yourself. That’s true bravery.”
In a city known for performance, ambition, and self-expression, Be Brave offers an invitation to embrace individuality and confidence. The sculpture’s flowing form creates a welcoming public space while encouraging visitors to engage directly with the message.
Designed for daily interaction, the work demonstrates how public art can become part of everyday life, serving as both a functional object and a shared experience.
