The ALX Pyramid
We thank artist and 2024 ALX100 Honoree Patiño Vazquez as well as Fred Fowler and John Franklin for their work on the ALX100 Pyramid, which represents the three shared prosperity pillars of ALX’s work: Business, Leadership, and Policy.
Traditionally, pyramids represent balance, transformation, and connection. This piece symbolizes the unity and strength of our community and how the contributions of our ALX100 honorees are interconnected with the whole.
Each year the sculpture travels to some of Massachusetts’ most iconic cultural institutions. At the conclusion of the tour each honoree will receive their piece of the sculpture, engraved with their name and the year of their recognition, to serve as a reminder of their individual achievements and their integral role in our community.
