At the posted location you will find a tall, skinny, tin foil alien looking up as if he's lost and hoping he might soon get a ride back home. Rather ironic that most humans use tin foil to protect themselves from aliens and harmful outer space radiation waves. This is actually a 33-foot, 7,000-pound polished stainless steel sculpture titled "Looking Up" by St. Louis artist Tom Friedman. It was installed in 2017. Many visitors will probably stand in the same pose, looking up, pondering what might be out there in the universe.
Friedman’s work involves the use of crushed aluminum foil, and other distorted and distressed metal objects, which are used as part of a molding and lost wax casting technique.
