Within this picture is a lot of white space, but the reflection in the mirrors creates harmony. The repetition allows you to see in and around the exhibit, making you feel as if you are a part of it.

The background contains more hope then grief as you begin to find yourself again and move forward in your journey. Willow Tree Sculptures Hero and Soar Hero sculpture shadowed from various angles
