Dreams Take Flight

Artist David Boyer describes his kinetic wind sculpture, Dreams Take Flight, as a metaphor for the dreams, aspirations, idealism, and drive that inspire young adults to attend college. Through higher education, students are elevating their minds to prepare for the challenges that await. The nine flyers, arms spread like soaring wings, are pushing through the headwinds of life, flying high as they forge ahead to make a better future. The forms, multi-colored and stainless steel, feminine and masculine flying humans, symbolize a cohesive campus community of many diverse individuals. It is through embracing this diversity that we gain strength, understanding, and a deeper commitment to our community.
