Hope is the Thing with Feathers, features two expansive bamboo wings flanking a slender ladder that rises between them. Drawing inspiration from Emily Dickinson’s poem, the work symbolizes the enduring presence of hope and light amidst loss and longing. The wings suggest freedom, transcendence, and the invisible strength that carries us through hardship, while the ladder offers a path upward—toward healing, remembrance, and the infinite. Together, they form a powerful visual metaphor for the human spirit’s resilience. (I-Park/The Netherlands, CT, USA)
