For the sixth year in a row, Times Square Alliance has installed a three-dimensional heart in New York City's busiest public space for Valentine's Day. Brooklyn's Young Projects won the competition for the 2014 installation with Match-Maker, a sculpture comprised of red-and-pink periscopes whose ends are marked with the signs of the Zodiac.
