IMAGINE (WINGS IN THE CITY 2011)

The above sculpture is titled - IMAGINE. It is one of the four sculptures on display at Maryland Plaza in the Central West End. The young artist is Elizabeth J. Barenholtz.
According to the website, www.wingsinthecity.org, "Elizabeth designed this butterfly for her Senior Project. She has showcased her artistic talent to create graphics and logos that were used in school publications. Elizabeth is a freshman at Lawrence University."

Elizabeth explained, "The inspiration for the butterfly evolved from the song “Imagine” by John Lennon. In order to capture the colorful time period when the song was released, I created a whimsical image for the wings. The butterfly sits on top of a John Lennon record that appears to be spinning, playing the song “Imagine”.
You may say that I'm a dreamer;

But I'm not the only one;

I hope someday you'll join us;

And the world will be as one."
