Commissioned by Norwegian Cruise Line via Avant Gallery, “Horizons” and “Voyage” are twin monumental stainless steel sculptures created for the Aqua cruise ship—each standing 10 feet tall on a 3-foot round base. Together, they embody the spirit of exploration, movement, and possibility that defines life at sea.

Horizons captures the expansive potential of the open ocean, its fluid forms rising upward like a beacon that invites travelers to look forward, dream bigger, and embrace the unknown.
Voyage complements this vision with buoyant, inflated-like shapes that appear to challenge the rigidity of metal, symbolizing transformation, fluidity, and the continual motion of a journey unfolding.

Installed as public art aboard Aqua, the pair serves as landmarks of inspiration—reflecting the beauty, vastness, and boundless opportunities of maritime travel. Individually expressive yet deeply connected, they offer a dynamic dialogue about discovery, movement, and the human pull toward what lies beyond the horizon.
