A favorite among families, fashionistas, and photo-seekers alike, it’s a symbol of connection, resilience, and the enduring power of love. Then, take a seat—literally—on Eye Benches by modern art legend Louise Bourgeois. Crafted from sleek black Zimbabwe granite, these surreal sculptures double as seating and invite guests to reflect, observe, and reimagine how we see the world around us.

The Colored Screens by Daniel Buren, suspended above Treats Food Hall, brings bold geometric patterns and vibrant hues that play with light and space—casting colorful reflections that shift throughout the day. Nearby on the Upper Level, Joy by Austin Lee captures a sense of emotion and whimsy through vivid color and fluid form. Originally created in virtual reality, the sculpture bridges digital creativity with traditional bronze craftsmanship.
