His most recognized work, The Man in the City, features stylized, silhouetted male figures installed on rooftops and public spaces, creating a dialogue between art and its surroundings. Sauve has exhibited his sculptures in cities across the U.S., including Detroit, where his work has played a significant role in the city’s artistic revitalization. He is also an advocate for public art and arts education, fostering creative engagement through projects that encourage community participation and interpretation.

The project creates a metaphor for life that transforms skylines and encourages people to look around. In the discovery process, one becomes aware of their own sense of place within the city.

The brightly-colored figures are not only a way to highlight historical buildings (the Walker Carriage Works Building dates back to 1870 and is a part of the Liberty Street Historic District), it has also acted as a springboard for Sauve to engage youth in meaningful workshops that shows them how they can visualize a project and see it to the end, something the A2AC looks forward to being a part of in the future.
