It’s the fifth day of our Pick of the Week, the LA Decom week long event.  “Seraphim: The Spirit of Unification,” the large wooden sculpture is up and visitors from all over LA have already left their mark on it.

As part of the event, from 9:00 am to sunset, the public is invited to participate in the ritual of writing their hopes, dreams, and remembrances on it.
