“Cosmic Portal" is a striking 23-foot stainless steel sculpture, featuring two arching forms that weave elegantly through the air, creating a mesmerizing interplay of curves and lines.
The sculpture resembles a fluid ribbon with a modern, dynamic appearance, capturing attention with its bold design. Its reflective steel surface introduces a bright, polished aspect that contrasts sharply with its surroundings, enhancing its ethereal quality. The sculpture invites viewers to explore its graceful loops and twists, offering different perspectives and reflections as they move around it.

Young is a two-time Olympic medalist in long-distance racewalking. During this period, he studied sculpture at Columbia College, followed by a two-year fellowship to study sculpture in Italy. Young has been a full-time freelance artist ever since, known for his fluid forms, his innovative use of negative space, and his mastery of the bronze medium.

The Cosmic Portal sculpture can be found in front of the Walnut building, on the corner of N Walnut and 10th St
