The sculpture that I decided to reflect upon is L’Offrande (The Offering) by Robert Wlerick. The sculpture is situated in a grassy meadow area in between the academic buildings of Stein and Beaven. The scale of the piece seems to be larger than life. The proportions of the sculpture are larger than an average sized woman and appears almost like an Amazon woman.

You tackled some really thought-provoking themes in your poems‚ and I think were largely successful in doing so. I think if you just revisit some specific aspects of each piece‚ they could be even stronger. In “L’appel du vide”‚ I thought your poem perfectly captured the feelings associated with the phrase “l’appel du vide”‚ itself.
