“Often, I am asked if my wind sculptures can generate power? My answer is simple–their purpose is to generate JOY.” Lyman Whitaker. This installation brings together a variety of shapes using a single form, a cup shape, which allows for diversity, inclusion and unification. The sculptures symbolize dancers around a central figure expressing their JOY to be free and responding to the whispering wind.
