"Joy" was acquired and installed on the grounds of the the Ocean City Community Center in August 2012. This 10' high stainless steel sculpture by Jose Chora depicts a stylized silhouette figure of a person balancing on one foot with both hands raised above its head, which is represented by an elongated, hollow oval, as an expression of exhilaration. The sculpture is divided into two sections. The head, arms and chest form the upper part and the hips and legs form the lower part of the figure.
The sculpture rests on a 3' by 3' by 3' concrete cube. A plaque attached to the face of the cube is inscribed:
