"The dance of survival portrayed in this sculpture is an allegory for the struggles we all face in life and how we deal with them. The creatures involved (cougar and hawk) are each pushing the limits of their strength, their skills and their spirit, to achieve a life-sustaining goal, doing so with a grace and elegance only observed in the purist moments of nature. This is a decisive moment for both of them and they are holding back nothing in their striving. Each has faith that he will be the victor, relying on the unique qualities nature has given him, which are all that he should require for success. Acting on a wing and a prayer, they both reach for the sky." - Rosetta

The enlargement of the cougar and hawk portion (minus the rocks) of the original "Reach for the Sky" Maquette sculpture was commissioned by the Meridian Metropolitan District at Meridian Commons Retail and is situated on rocks on a mound in the roundabout in Lioness Way in their new development south of Denver, CO.
This inspirational sculpture is also located in Tacoma, WA, at Curtis Junior High School’s beautiful, state-of-the-art new building.
