"MIA" Sculpture at UCR

A cube-shaped sculpture entitled, MIA, has been installed to the east of Watkins Hall on the UC Riverside campus (900 University Ave., Riverside).  The sculpture is the work of Brenna Youngblood (@brennayoungblood), a Riverside native and Los Angeles-based artist.  As described in an Inside UCR news article, "Called MIA, the sculpture is a 1,700-pound bronze piece in which the three letters of the title sit inside a grid shape that resembles a jungle gym. The sculpture is part of a series by Youngblood that explore language and identity by Youngblood. The letters symbolize multiple meanings beyond the commonly known missing in action".
