DuSable Statue Competition

Collaboration · Rodney Leon & Branly CadetPlans, Renderings & Collaborative Statue Design

The winning competition proposal for the Jean Baptiste Point du Sable statue in Chicago, developed in collaboration with architect Rodney Leon and sculptor Branly Cadet. My contributions included project drawings, architectural renderings, and collaborative design development. The proposal explores the monument’s presence in the park, its sight lines, and the detailing of its granite base and installation.
