nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

- e.e. cummings, somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and Third by experience, which is the bitterest.

- Confucius

Sculptor Deborah Baldizar

“I liken my sculptures to maps. Each one is a physical description of an emotional place.

Through my work I seek to identify discreet body language that might betray a private thought or reveal a hidden emotion. I am most interested in raw moments of self-reflection, inner thought and questioning.” - Deborah Baldizar

I will.
