Description

Tikkum olam -- To repair the world, Boyle Heights, 1997. White Memorial Medical Plaza parking structure, exterior, East Cesar Chavez Avenue between State Street and Boyle Avenue, Boyle Heights. Biblical imagery illustrates the artist's vision. The bronze serpent made by Moses to heal the Israelites both descends and ascends from the figure of Christ. Just as the serpent manifested itself to heal a physical and spiritual plague during the time of Moses, today modern medicine and theology are challenged to cure the ills of our time. The City of Angeles is the new Jerusalem. The Angel of Resurrection intercedes before the resurrected Christ on behalf of the healing of the city of Los Angeles. Acrylic, 36' x 36', by George Yepes. -- Dunitz, Street gallery, rev. 2nd ed., p. 320, #104.
