“Make a Wish” is an invitation to consider our stories, our learnings past, present and future and our inspirations for renewal and possibility.
The sculpture captures the essence of resilience, growth and optimism expressed through a mature dandelion stalk and seeds, held by vibrant, colourful fingers. Some of the feathery seeds have blown off the stalk, dispersing in a whimsical pattern through the air.
A clear constant throughout Saskatoon’s history is strong human spirit, the core of which is captured by the steady hand of the sculpture with its symbolism of both tenacity and vision. The hand is also suggestive of human connection, such a key ingredient for the creation of ‘neighbourhood’ and the sense of belonging and inclusion.
