Using Francis Bacon’s quote, “Knowledge is Power” as the central theme, Zenos sculpted this monument to inspire the process and pleasure of learning.
Using the visual metaphor of an open book, the 8-ft high by 12-ft wide sculpture features Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein emerging from its pages.
These influential figures represent key shifts in the understanding of the world and its sciences.
Relief faces and quotes from 31 iconic figures in science, history, mathematics and the arts portray contrasting theories, philosophies and politics, as well as struggles shared across generations.
On the left page, a large relief portrait of Charles Darwin is encircled by early thinkers, artists, activists, politicians and scientists along with their famous ideas or works.
On the right page, Albert Einstein steps out dimensionally as did his ideas about space and time, and he is surrounded by more contemporary figures, concepts and quotations.
The viewer is led through a process of exploration and is left to weigh countering viewpoints and discover their personal resonance.

Installed in 2014, the sculpture is located at the entrance to James Hall at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey.
