Description: The Dance of Marriage: My name is Sauri Rivera and I am an 8th grader at Progress Village Middle Magnet School of the Arts. I created a sculpture from obsolete objects called, "The Dance of Marriage". In scientific studies, sandhill cranes are known for mating for life. Notice the wedding rings in the bird's mouth. In the future of Florida, I hope humans will also "mate for life," through the bond of marriage. Happy couples create happy families. Happy families can thrive and help Florida become greater, and "take flight". The butterflies on my sculpture represent the children of a happy marriage.
