A site-sensitive sculptural installation created by students in Brian Davis’ Sculpture I class in Fall 2025, this work explores themes of community, multiplicity, and transformation through a collaborative, evolving structure. Individual small-scale pieces—diverse in form, material, and concept—are assembled into a unified, vertical or branching framework, where each element functions as a distinct yet interconnected node. Emphasizing openness, mutual care, and shared authorship, the sculpture reflects relational aesthetics and material experimentation, evoking ecological systems, cultural lineages, and collective rituals while inviting visitors into a dynamic spatial experience.
