The Slide Mantra by Isamu Noguchi is one of his last major works. In 1986 this sculpture was selected to represent the United States at the Venice Biennale, where it sat as the centerpiece of the exhibition. This piece is made of Carrara marble and in 2005 was damaged due to Hurricane Wilma (installed in Miami in 1991). Looking at the piece it reminds me of struggles and the ups and downs of life (staircase and slide) and the way out or around issues (hole). It is very abstract and brings a different message and interpretation to each individual viewer.
