After the Ball

By Josh Urso
Jersey City, NJ
Concrete & Paint
5.67'H x 2'W x 2'D
$27,000

Inspired by the constant cycle of redevelopment, After the Ball has cracked and fractured surfaces that represent how a city can be rebuilt after decay. However, the second rendition is never the same as the original. Some pieces will be lost and others repaired, and hopefully something good will emerge. This sense of hope is represented by the bright colors emanating from the fractures, while the imperfections add an edge of uncertainty that leaves viewers questioning the sculpture's integrity. No matter where After The Ball finds its next home, it’s sure to spark thoughtful conversation.

Coral Snake Fire Swirl

By Robert Sunderman
Ames, IA
Stainless steel with powder coat
7'10"H x 3'6"W x 4'4"D
$12,000

A celebration of energy, renewal, and strength, Coral Fire Snake Swirl draws inspiration from fire and a burnt-out tree trunk. Both are essential to life and the cycle of our environment, giving and taking. It feels hot to the touch, evoking both danger and beauty, and moves when touched, mimicking the motion of flames. True to the piece's duality, Coral Snake Fire Swirl looks striking in both unexpected and relevant settings, such as a grassy prairie, the shores of a sprawling lake, or outside a fire station. Wherever this piece finds its next home, it will continue to invite people to feel the power of fire and understand its importance.

Northern Spiral

By Joel Washing
Toledo, OH
Steel
9'6"H x 4'W x 4'D
$9,000

What was once small can grow to be so mighty. Northern Spiral is a larger-than-life steel tribute to the growth of a maple seed, also known as a samara, into a towering, 80-foot-tall tree. This kinetic sculpture spins on an axis, mimicking the helicopter spin of a samara seed falling from its tree. Whether found in nature near its inspiration or as a stoic figure within indoor spaces, Northern Spiral creates small moments of humble reflection on how just a small seed can become such an impressive sight to see.

Resurgence

By Lionel Dean
London, UK
Fiberglass
86"H x 28"W x 28"D
$15,000

Vitality, courage, renewal. Resurgence symbolizes the human instinct to recover from adversity and rise again. Built around an innovative 3D-printed internal skeleton, the sculpture's flame burst reaches upward, instilling renewed energy that begets hope and possibility. For its next home, Resurgence should be in a space where people can stop, take the time to look at it, and start a conversation about the piece.

Reflection

By Gedion Nyanhongo Fostoria, OH and Phoenix, AZ
Stone
70"H x 36"W x 36"D
$18,500

Drawing inspiration from his Zimbabwean heritage, family community, and everyday human experiences, Nyanhongo created Reflection as a representation of human connection and the importance of people supporting one another. It instills viewers with a sense of peace, togetherness, and strength fortified in stone. True to its name, Reflection was made in the hopes that anyone who sees it will pause, reflect, and develop their own personal connection with the sculpture. To keep these connections alive, Reflection is best suited for gardens, parks, cultural centers, and peaceful settings where people can enjoy its message for years to come.
