Cupid's Arrow

Kinetic Public Art by Lloyd Goradesky
A 16-foot weathervane sculpture and public kindness project built to encourage compassion, consideration, and universal love.
The Project
A weathervane measures direction. It is also a metaphor for the way people can change course. When faced with a dilemma, the project offers a simple compass: let love guide your way.
The artwork began as a kinetic public art commission in Boynton Beach, Florida and evolved into a broader call for kindness through sculpture, community events, stories, and education.
"It truly is a beautiful, unique piece with a tremendously important message." Trip Barrett, Director of Tourism, Bal Harbour
What Visitors See
The sculpture changes with the weather, the time of day, and the person standing in front of it.
A rotating wind vane with a cut-out heart at one end and a solid heart catching the wind at the other.
The sculpture becomes a meeting place where people can share and celebrate kindness together.
The concept can grow into indoor and outdoor exhibits with video, stories, education, and replicas.
New Chapter
The project continues with new public art proposals, community events, and opportunities for people to sign, share, and physically take part in the artwork's message.
