Dream Big
On a Bernal Heights hillside are five,
10-foot-tall shimmering letters spelling out
a simple but powerful word: DREAM.
DREAM is San Francisco’s version of the “HOLLYWOOD” sign in
Southern California, offering a new marker for the east-facing
Bernal Heights slope above the Alemany Farmers' Market. It can be
seen from the bottom of the hillside, the freeways near the 101/280
split and from various points in the Portola neighborhood. Fashioned
out of shiny metal discs, the letters glisten when they catch the sun.
Public Works co-sponsored the project, ushering it through the
official sign-offs and making sure it is structurally sound.
The public sculpture, which was unveiled at a Sept. 22 ceremony,
is meant to inspire people who view it "to start identifying their goals
and aspirations, from a place of consciousness and awareness, and to
begin the process of pursuing them."
