Imagine a
community that was functioning as a healthy family - where each individual was
encouraged to be fully self expressed and to be the best that they could be,
where each member was looking out for other family members with encouragement
and support, where the entire family worked as one to create a nurturing and
fulfilling life for all. What a joy that
would be.
This
sculpture is intended to be a playful symbol for just such a community. The varied color and form of the figures
symbolize the diverse make up of the community and the arrangement of the figures
represent the support that is created.
The rainbow colors are a symbol of an inclusive community.
