“Hope from Above”

Seen at the entrance to the Mercy Health Perrsyburg Cancer Center. From a description of the display:

 

"The graceful and colorful birds soar above the Welcome Center to remind all that within these walls is hope, faith and a sincere expression of the concept of 'strength in numbers.' While each cancer journey is truly an individual experience, these beautiful birds proclaim that it need never be a lonely voyage."

 

"The glass birds were hand-fired in the cancer awareness colors, each representing a different type of cancer."

 

The display was created by Matthew Paskiet, who is with Firenation Glass Studio and Gallery. The display is a tribute to Andrew Merrels, supported by a donation from his wife Karen Merrels.
