Rather than viewing architecture as static, this work considers how civic monuments become shared ground between human history and the wild lives that inhabit the spaces around them. The monumental form of the Liberty Memorial becomes a perch and vantage point, reinforcing that memory and nature are both dynamic forces that shape a sense of home.

Why This Work Matters

Sentinel at Home reflects on how places of history and communal memory can also be places of belonging. The eagle — emblematic of vigilance and endurance — anchors the composition, inviting viewers to consider how stories of survival coexist with built structures. The luminous metal leaf interacts with light like shifting sky, echoing how rhythm and presence persist in civic landscapes. This piece resonates with collectors who appreciate narrative nuance, material depth, and architectural relationship.
