Big Wish is a monumental homage to the universal act of wishing—an intimate gesture cast in enduring form. Shaped as an oversized bronze wishbone, the sculpture draws on a symbol recognized across cultures and generations, where the simple ritual of making a wish becomes an expression of hope, belief, and shared humanity.

Historically, the wishbone traces back to ancient traditions. The Phoenicians revered birds in flight as divine messengers, and over time, the wishbone evolved into a talisman of luck and possibility. Whether through a childhood ritual or a quiet, private hope, the act of breaking—or simply holding—a wishbone remains a powerful emblem of desire.

In Big Wish, that fleeting moment is immortalized in solid bronze, elevating the everyday into the iconic. It stands as an ode to dreams—especially the bold, audacious ones—and to the enduring human impulse to believe in something just beyond reach.
