Micky Hoogendijk is inspired to share her vision on a grander scale, envisioning her sculptures as focal points in public spaces, where they serve as both a beacon and a mirror to the community.
This vision stems from a desire to forge connections and create a central gathering point within neighborhoods, thereby enhancing the communal fabric through art. Hoogendijk’s decision to celebrate life through art sees her transforming moments of joy and pain into sculptures that resonate with universal themes of humanity. This narrative is particularly poignant in the context of public art, where her sculptures invite engagement and contemplation from a broad audience. Each piece in the series is a dialogue between the artist and the observer, emphasizing the unseen bonds that connect us all. Hoogendijk’s art encourages us to look beyond the surface, to the emotions and connections that define our shared humanity. As these sculptures find their place in public arenas, they become more than just art; they are invitations to interact, reflect, and feel.
