FriendsWithYou Presents "Starchild" Sculpture in Celebration of Unity

A 16-foot version of the original displayed on the streets of Miami Beach.

This year’s Miami Art Basel festivities are well underway, and Samuel Borkson and Arturo Sandoval III’s FriendsWithYou are celebrating by crafting a limited-edition 16-foot Starchild sculpture available for purchase. The artwork is a miniature version of the 50-foot original commissioned by the city of Miami Beach.

Bright orange hues encompass the joyous figure, which is a part of the duo’s larger body of work that aims to unite the human race by renaming the planet “Ocean.” Starchild is a symbol of light, power, and nature and is the first element of life in the new world.

The sculpture is designed with a painted stainless steel finish and boasts a slim yet tall figure, holding its arms up high while delivering brightness through its sun-shaped appearance.

The miniature Starchild sculpture is limited to 500 units and is available to purchase now via the FriendsWithYou website for $500 USD.
