Concept:
“Up, Up, and Away” is a functional, in-the-round sculpture that juxtaposes night and day. It features circling birds and astronomical maps on opposing halves. The title invites viewers to explore themes of freedom, with the birds’ ominous patterns suggesting a complex mix of relief and sorrow. This piece prompts contemplation: does it celebrate newfound freedom, or does it envy the aerial landscapes and beings of the sky, yearning for escape from the physical realm?
