10th Annual International Sculpture Symposium
Buyukcekmece (Istanbul), Turkey June/July 2011
“Dream Cloud,” a 4 meter tall stainless steel sculpture in Istanbul, is a series of connected spheres atop a pyramidal obelisque. The spheres, some large, some small, some perforated, all with different textures, overlap each other in a cloud formation and turn softly with the wind. The spheres represent dreams – perhaps a dream held since childhood, new dreams, changing dreams – some that have come true, some given up on, some we are actively pursuing, some are just in the back of our minds. They may change in order and scope with changes in our lives but they are all still there somewhere, and they can come true.
