Since its installation on the Delaware Stairs in August 2012, Do Ho Suh's Karma, 2010, has been one of the most photographed works at the museum. This week we're sharing some of your recent photos of the towering sculpture. 

Suh's 23-foot-tall bronze sculpture consists of a standing man with repeating figures, each stacked on top of the shoulders and covering the eyes of the figure below, as duplicated by members of the Bird's Nest Circus Arts in the photo above. This human tower ascends with a slight backward curvature, drawing our eyes up to the sky and calling attention to ideas of individual moments, overstimulation, and the human experience.

Next time you're walking around Delaware Park, stop by to enjoy and capture Karma!
