[edit] Works
Momen is the creator of the Metaphor: The Tree of Utah, an 87 foot sculpture resembling a tree in the Bonneville Salt Flats off of route I-80. Apparently, while driving along the highway to California, Momen had a vision of a tree in the desert. He financed the project himself and built it from 1982 to 1986, afterwards donating the sculpture to the state of Utah.
