La Puerta
La Puerta (The Door) was inspired by the impact that each person makes within their own community. In this piece, each person is represented by a personalized key which opens the doorway to possibilities. These doorways are mythical passages through time and space, and perhaps to parallel worlds. This piece is intended to honor the Flowing Wells Community and spark the creative imagination of all who come to visit.
