As soon as I saw this assignment I knew which sculpture I wanted to post about. It is the sculpture found on the side of Engleman. I pass by this sculpture a lot. It reminds me of waves from the ocean. I love the beach and anything to do with the ocean that is why this sculpture really stood out to me. At first I liked it just because of that and because I thought that it looks interesting and pretty. Then I started to think of the meaning behind this sculpture.
To me this sculpture symbolizes the waves that we experience in our lives, the struggles that we have to deal with. In college this is very true, especially freshman year. You have to transition from high school work, high school friends, and living at home, to college work, college friends, and living in a whole new environment. This could be a wavy transition. I think that this sculpture symbolizes that.
It also reminds me that you have to think of everything that you are working towards while you are at school. At the end of every storm is a new beginning. That is what also is symbolized. This sculpture inspires me to try my hardest each day. To hold on when I get hit with each new wave of work. That is why I like this sculpture so much. If you have not seen it yet, you should really take some time out of your day and at least walk by it. If you do have some extra time think about how this sculpture could inspire you to keep fighting against the rocky waves that we call life.
