	Michael Murphy's sculpture "Tension" received critical acclaim and was featured in "Time"'s year-end edition that featured the most prominent Obama artworks. Murphy used 1000 feet of high tension steel wire to create a profile portrait of Obama. "Obama's image pops out of the sculpture only if viewers stand at a precise location; otherwise, they see only a mess of wire." The portrait was displayed as the prominent piece of the Manifest Hope: DC art show, curated by Shepard Fairey.
