Sebastian, "Torch of Friendship (Antorcha de Amistad)," 2002

Antorcha de Amistad (Torch of Friendship) symbolizes two cultures, two languages, and two roads merging into one, specifically those of the United States and Mexico. The artwork is composed of two columns that come together at the top in a gently twisting and curving arch that suggests the flow of water or a ribbon rippling in the wind. The sculpture gracefully extends into the sky, reminiscent of an abstracted arabesque. This looping convergence mirrors the sense of friendship Sebastian draws inspiration from.
