Aspire
Our team was hired by the city of Spokane, Washington, to create an outdoor sculpture as a permanent artistic fixture at the entrance of the newly opened Podium sportsplex. Aspire represents and reflects the community of Spokane, Washington. Located in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, this city is a mecca for sport and recreation.
The installation encompasses universal experiences of athletics, movement, and aspiration through its visual language and abstract design. Whether an athlete, family member or casual viewer, you can see yourself reflected within the 100 individual elements within the artwork.

The banner symbolizes achievement. Hanging a championship banner in the rafters is synonymous with athletics. This icon became the sculptural element we used to express this sense of aspiration.
-
There are three unique ways to experience the sculpture. From afar the each of the banners swivels from the wind, creating a flurry of activity. From the outside each of these banners further tells the story through color and pattern. On the interior of the piece, the viewer sees themselves in the reflection of each.
-
We worked with local leaders in the sports community to help conceptualize the graphics found within the piece. Each graphic was essentially sourced by someone from the local community.
