The piece is called "Facets of Love" by Christy McCutchen. It is multi dimensional and is reminiscent of a kaleidoscope or stained-glass window. The different layers use not just paper hearts from the Love Bridge, but also an Orlando transit map from local artist Nathan Selikoff, and a star map of the night sky on the day of the shooting.
