It’s light enough to carry a sense of motion, yet strong enough to stand through years of wind, rain, and shifting seasons. The surface retains the marks of making.

His position is mid-stride, one foot barely grounded, the other reaching forward, arms open in that instinctive balance children have when they run without thinking. He isn’t simply holding a kite; he’s following it, led by curiosity and imagination. We elongated the kite slightly, giving it a subtle lift, so the eye travels upward and outward, as if the wind itself is part of the sculpture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd then there’s where he lives.
