Description: Fish Hawk: "Fish Hawk" is a sculpture of an osprey and is named after the Florida neighborhood I grew up in. The subject matter is a species of bird most commonly seen around there. I created this piece to represent the fact that in order to pave the way to success in the future it is vital that we look into the past and what has brought us to where we are today. By sculpting an osprey, I am going back to the place I grew up and reflecting on how it made me who I am today. As time goes on, we disconnect more and more from our origins, as a country or just as individuals. Nothing erases the need to remind us of our origins, because if we don't, will be ever truly move forward?
