The five story tall statue Truth is Beauty stands between the San Leandro Tech Campus and the BART, Bay Area Rapid Transit, Station. It is the creation of artist Marco Cochrane whose website (marcocochranesculpture.net/truth-is-beauty/) explains: "Truth is Beauty is the second in the series of three monumental sculptures, The Bliss Project, by Marco Cochrane of a woman, Deja Solis, expressing her humanity. Truth is Beauty, 55 feet tall, debuted at Burning Man 2013 and will be permanently placed at the San Leandro Tech Center in the San Francisco Bay Area in September 2016. These sculptures are intended to demand a change in perspective… to be catalysts for social change. They are intended to challenge the viewer to see past the sexual charge that has developed around the female body which has been used for power and control, to the human being. They are intended to de-objectify women and inspire men and women to take action to end violence against women, thus allowing both women and men to live fully and thrive."
