The Wishing Wall is an extension of a permanent installation that was installed at Anythink Huron Street, a library in Thornton, Colorado in the spring of 2014.
A few years ago, I started thinking about wishes and how many of us have similar desires— for health, happiness, peace, an end to suffering. I began collecting wishes and found that I felt empathy and compassion towards many of the wishers, and sometimes even a call to action. Individual wishes, like the seeds of a dandelion, symbolize private wishes. The Wishing Wall as a whole serves as a metaphor for human connectedness: we all begin as a seed, we are all connected, and each of us travels far and wide throughout our lives like a dandelion seed carried on the wind.
My wish is that everyone in the world could share a wish, and if all of these wishes were listened to and acknowledged, our global problems might dissolve.
