Sculpture Exhibition
"Layers of Hope"
By Britt Jensen
Layers of Hope features three ceramic figures stacked within each other. Windows are carved into each figure, allowing glimpses into the layers beneath. The outermost figure
represents the collective consciousness of humanity. The middle figure represents us as individuals. And the inner figure represents the next generation. The layers are meant to demonstrate our connection with each other and our
collective responsibility to future generations. They serve as a reminder that we must work together to nurture a world that we want to see passed down to the next generation, a world where hope, equity, and unity are possible.
