Rise Above at the Flatiron
This illuminated installation was designed for display in the iconic Flatiron Prow Art Space with city views on three sides. Presenting five winged figures of varied sizes in semi-transparent wire mesh, it expresses hope and female energy. Positioned as if to soar out of the building, these soul-images embrace dualities: body and spirit, earth and sky.
