CEIBA TREE COPPER SCULPTURE: 2006

This sculpture was accomplished for the U.S. Ambassador's office reception area at the U.S. Embassy in San Jose, Costa Rica.  It is built of copper mounted on a  black marble base.  It is six foot high 10" deep and 14" wide.  It was shipped in three sections that were joined together at the site.  The polished surface is coated to reduce the effect of tarnishing.

The theme relates to the Ceiba tree legend and the story that the roots of that tree are connected to the soul and spirit of people.  It was a positive project producing a beautiful sculpture.
