Unity Beak
Unity Beak is about strength in numbers—the idea that when we come together, we are bigger, stronger, and unbreakable. The sculpture is made up of thousands of small ducks that unite to form a larger, more powerful figure, symbolizing how love, community, and solidarity can create something far greater than the sum of its parts.
Approximately 16,000 rubber ducks, each 1+ inch in size.
Proud Love
Proud Love reflects the courage it takes to love openly, to stand proudly as yourself in a world that often tries to silence you. The heart-shaped design represents the joy of embracing who you are and celebrating love in all its forms.
Approximately 5,000 rubber ducks, each 2+ inches in size.
