Bronze Sculpture on Stainless Steel Base,  31x21x13 in.

Hemeroscopium is an illusion of a place that exists only in our mind, in our senses, that is ever-changing and mutable, but is nonetheless real. When we are confronted with something that we don't understand we often don't realize that we don't understand it because we are able to come up with an explanation that makes sense based on our own unique perspectives and experiences in the world. We all want the complicated world we live in to make sense, so we tell ourselves stories to fill in the gaps. Because of these gaps, we wonder why others could have the views they have, especially when we are so convinced that our way of thinking is correct. This sculpture's story is purposely interrupted by a break that emphasizes incompleteness. That void offers interest and questioning to honor the idea that it's okay not to know everything. It's okay because that lack of congruency offers something more beautiful. An opportunity to bridge that gap through understanding and learning. As long as we are accepting and loving and willing to learn from each other. The moment we dig in and refuse to appreciate the variety that the world has to offer is the moment we close ourselves off to our own evolution.
