"Spheres of Reflection" by San Antonio artist Kaldric Dow is a sculpture paying homage to the representation of African American culture. It is located on San Antonio’s east side at Martin Luther King Park. The installation depicts an ambiguous face topped by a cylindrical tower of dark, reflective spheres symbolic of hair. The spheres feature words that are common themes found in Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s work including “dream, sincerity, bold, desire, brave, unity, gratitude, accountability, devotion and change.” In this video Dow explains what this public art sculpture represents plus hear from City of San Antonio District 2 Councilperson Jalen McKee-Rodriguez and the Department of Arts & Culture's Interim Executive Director Krystal Jones.
