The potential inherent in the dispersing seeds invite opportunities to reflect on change, new direction, and re-birth – stimulating and optimistic lessons we continually learn from nature when given the opportunity to notice. “A Simple Joy” associated with a hopeful blow and wish extend the sculpture’s contemplative pleasure.
