Promise

by Ruth Burink
Monument, Colorado

“Promise is a powerful, elegant and graceful sculpture carved from beautiful, white Colorado marble. The sculpture’s movement is upward from a well-grounded base that suggests the image of a dove, the symbol of hope and optimism, and of a guardian angel, the symbol of power for humankind’s benefit. I observed the negative effects on our lives of pessimism and even worse, a pervasive cynicism. Promise is my response.”
