Belly Yup is animated by people swaying on the bench and changes in ambient light. It’s also is seemingly frozen in a state of collapse—the columns are bowed, the corten canopy is tilted, and the layers of glass are out of alignment. Found at the trailhead for the 7th-10th Street segment of the Cross Charlotte Trail.
