David Pascale

Descanso de la Gente by David Pascale was an installation honoring the people of San Miguel County alive and deceased. Descansos are crosses placed on the side of highways in memory of those lost in highway accidents. Descanso de la Gente was placed on the bridge of the Arroyo de Manteca, one of the oldest bridges in New Mexico and one of the first in Las Vegas. This bridge was a major crossroad in Las Vegas and carries much history. The piece engaged the viewer by silently recalling the memory of the past and looking forward to the future.
