Manzano Rock, located in Wilson Park, Albuquerque, is intended to be a landmark - a marker of our nuclear past and present. When passing by the sculpture the exploded view allows one to see through the rock to its center, which contains a representation of “Little Boy”, the first atomic bomb which was dropped on Hiroshima. The park is location is in close proximity to Sandia National Laboratories, which was instrumental in the development of the first atomic weapons. The title, Manzano Rock, makes reference to the storage of nuclear munitions once hidden in the Manzano Mountains in the southeastern quadrant of Albuquerque.
