If any of these look familiar, you may have come across them before since they have been traveling the globe since 2013. The Wings have been in places like Dubai, Singapore, Madrid and Berlin. It was exciting to see them 2 hours from home!

Yes there is a selfie set of wings too so the visitor can experience a brief angelic moment in a peaceful setting.

There is one more piece located inside the Peace Center, behind glass. Beautiful to see, but difficult to photograph since the theater was closed at the time.
These beauties are on display through October 2021. All are located in downtown Greenville, SC.
Have a marvelous day/evening (wherever you are on the clock)! ~Val
Intriguing! The beak/wings combo made me think of Icarus. I don't know why -- it's not like Icarus was a bird.
ReplyDeleteI totally get it! I think the figures have a mythological look even though they are human.
DeleteThey are certainly different.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for all the photographs, always enjoyable.
All the best Jan
Thank you Jan!
DeleteWhat an interesting exhibition, though the pointed nose on the figure made me think of the plague doctor mask! "Angel Val" looks good!
ReplyDeleteThe mask does look like that. Creepy! Thank you Lisa!
DeleteThese are really quite stunning, Val. I admire the work of sculptors tremendously.
ReplyDeleteSculpting (especially humans) is an amazing art form!
DeleteWonderful imaginations! Human faces with beak and wings look cute.
ReplyDeleteEquilibrista and split have a good balance, and you look beautiful Angel of Heaven with strong wings!
