[1] Lift Off is a yellow, canopy like, abstract sculpture that sits on the corner of the CityVista building in front of Busboys and Poets.

Each crossbeam features a small floodlight on the end which illuminates the scallop like, origami inspired parts.

[1] The second work of art commissioned for the CityVista condominium complex, Lift Off was dedicated, alongside Inspiration by Ethan Kerber, on April 6, 2010.

Discussing the work Lift Off, Black stated: "The sculpture appears kinetic as one passes by – reflecting the spirit and vibrancy of the new neighborhood,".

Having such grand art next to Busboys and Poets has forever defined the corner of 5th and K, NW in the boldest of terms.
