Biographical Information: Ascent' pays homage to learning and the wondrous awakening that is the result of an open mind. / The University is a nest, a safe place to discover, to question, to think for oneself, developing independence and finally soaring. / The birds are a metaphor for personal growth and transformation. The individual elements are placed in the dynamic motion of flight to pull the eye upward, finally to the sky, suggesting endless possibility.
