“Sanctuary” is a 65 foot tall sculpture by artist Bruce Beasley (http://brucebeasley.com/) located at the entrance of the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose. It is huge. You get to walk under it by a path and besides looking for different ways that the giant rings play as I walked through I kept getting this ideas of motion imposed on my mind with flashes of the time/space traveling machine from the movie “Contact.”
Not captured in these photos which look east towards the street entrance to the hospital are the buildings that form a “U” around the sculpture and its park like settings around the north, west, and south sides of the art. These are hospital rooms that look out onto this beautiful scene called “Sanctuary.”
