The Incomplete Figures





"Figures emerge into the future. From this institution their minds and hearts have been prepared and stirred into taking flight, although they are still incomplete"
- Andrew Jumonville

This is a statue on my other community college's campus.

What really attracted me to this piece of work was the fact that this these statues were incomplete. Not one arm or leg was completed. How odd.

When I read the little engravement, I sorta had a hard time making out the message.

To me, I believe the message is that while there bodies are incomplete, their minds and hearts are keeping them on their dreams of emerging into the future.
