This weekend, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo revealed the design for a monument celebrating the LGBT community. The installation will be located at Hudson River Park on the western edge of Greenwich Village, home to Stonewall Inn and other LGBT landmarks.

"From Stonewall to marriage equality, New York has always been a beacon for justice and we will never waiver in our commitment to the LGBT community and to creating a more just and inclusive society,” said Cuomo at an press conference on Saturday. “This new monument will stand up for those values for generations to come."

The idea for a memorial commissioned by the State of New York began last summer, in the wake of the Pulse nightclub shooting. Out multimedia artist Anthony Goicolea's design was selected by a 10-person committee.

"[I'm] so excited and honored to have had my proposal selected for the LGBT memorial for victims of hate crimes and violence," Goicolea wrote on Instagram. "It is an honor to be part of the LGBTQ community and help represent.”

The structure is comprised of nine boulders, several of which are bisected with glass that acts as a prism and can emit a subtle rainbow. It is intended to pay homage to the LGBT community at large, as well as the 49 victims of the Pulse attack.

Goicolea says his design was influenced by site like Stonehenge and Easter Island.

“It feels like there are certain shapes and patterns that are encoded in our DNA as humans that transcend any particular culture and speak to how we are unified in the larger scheme,” he told the New York Times. “I wanted to create a space that feels familiar, even though it is new.”
