Artist Emma Anna wants you to imagine yourself inside her work literally.

Boca Raton is the U.S. debut city for a traveling sculpture by the Sydney, Australia-born artist. Her work, titled IMAG_NE, is sculpted to look like Scrabble squares with the second I missing.

The goal, she has said, is for the viewer to interact with the sculpture. And she is encouraging people to snap pictures of themselves interacting with the work and post it on social media. For the U.S. stop, the hashtag is #imagineboca.

The city, home to the edgy Boca Museum of Art, celebrated with a free concert and dedication ceremony with the artist, mayor Susan Haynie and West Boca Highs jazz band at the site in Sanborn Square (72 N. Federal Highway) on Oct. 1.

We anticipate that our residents, as well as visitors, will take great joy in having the opportunity to wordplay using their own imaginations, Haynie said in a release.

The sculpture will be at Sanborn Square through mid-November, except for when it moves to Florida Atlantic University from Nov. 11-13 for a special event with New York Times bestselling author Gabrielle Bernstein.

The work was inspired by the Albert Einstein quote, Imagination is more important than knowledge Knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, Anna has said.

It has been traveling the world since debuting as part of Sculpture by the Sea in Bondi, Australia in 2008.
