Only Forward

Welded entirely from salvaged metal, this sculpture gives a new life to what was once discarded.
The snail ,slow, steady, and biologically incapable of moving backward represents a symbol of progress and endurance.

In the snails head rests a pencil cactus, Known for its ability to thrive in harsh conditions, the cactus becomes a symbol of adaptability and creative strength. Its upward-reaching limbs mirror the drive to grow despite limitations.

As night falls, the cactus glows. This illumination becomes a metaphor for the internal light that fuels persistence—the spark of creativity, purpose, and hope that carries you forward.

I would like this sculpture to  encourage you to consider your own path, your pace, and the quiet power of continuing on.
