'Dreams Take Flight' - by David Boyer

This sculpture is a metaphor for the dreams, aspirations, idealism, and drive that inspires young adults to attend college and work toward the achievement of their personal and professional goals. Through higher education, students are elevating their minds in preparation for the challenges that await.

The nine multi-colored masculine/feminine metallic flyers represent Rowan's cohesive campus community made up of diverse individuals. The flyers with their arms spread like souring wings are pushing headlong into the ever-changing winds of life while continually adjusting their course to adapt to a complex world.
