  "account": "A unique sculpture titled \"auroBOROS\" has made its way to Manhattan's High Line, nestled between the park's greenery like a strand of Carrie Bradshaw's ringlets from Sex and the City. Created by Berlin-based duo Plastique Fantastique, the installation will be on display above Little West 12th Street in the Meatpacking District until September 20, coinciding with New York Fashion Week.\n\nInspired by Bulgari's iconic serpent motif, \"auroBOROS\" is an abstract interpretation of the luxury brand's jewelry. Despite initially appearing gold, a hissing sound emanates from within the sculpture, created by two large air pumps maintaining its taut form. Passersby were largely positive about the artwork, with tourists even engaging in selfies in its reflective surface.\n\nPlastique Fantastique focused on low-cost materials for the sculpture, making \"auroBOROS\" their first public art installation in the United States. The sculpture's unique design produces distorted reflections of visitors and the urban landscape, reminiscent of Anish Kapoor's \"Cloud Gate\" in Chicago.\n\nWhile some art enthusiasts suggested more color and noted potential obstructions, \"auroBOROS\" remains accessible to all visitors until its final day.",
