This Sculpture is one of two sculptures that convey the futility of amassing wealth and possessions as we face the end of our lives. They serve as poignant reminders of what truly matters in our final moments, prompting us to reflect on the essential values and thoughts that resonate when our life’s journey comes to a close.

This artwork titled "We the People," created with pencil on paper, is purposefully designed to cover every wall, and ceiling of a room. It features simple line portraits of individuals from around the world, showcasing the full spectrum of humanity.

Production time is in full swing. Getting ready for the 2nd Annual Fine Art Fair at Hempstead House, Presented by Ripple Creative and Hosted by the Sands Point Preserve on February 9th, 2024.
