‘Re-Evolution’ Sculpture Set to Be Unveiled at San Francisco’s Embarcadero Plaza

The 45-foot-tall artwork, originally planned for Union Square, begins its six-month installation today following a relocation due to engineering challenges.

The 45-foot-tall sculpture, created by artist Marco Cochrane, was originally showcased at Burning Man in 2015 and has toured locations including Miami and Petaluma.
The artwork, titled 'Re-Evolution,' was relocated to Embarcadero Plaza after concerns over its weight and potential damage to Union Square’s tiles halted its initial installation plans.
The six-month installation at Embarcadero Plaza officially begins with a community unveiling event today, April 10, featuring live music, food, drinks, and a liquid light show.
Organized by Building 180 and supported by private sponsorship, the project reflects efforts to integrate large-scale public art into urban spaces while addressing logistical and engineering challenges.
The sculpture symbolizes feminine strength and empowerment, with its meditative pose facing Market Street, and includes interactive lighting effects that create the illusion of breathing.
