“…The Landfillart project epitomizes the connectivity between all things in a creative and profound way. The piece is titled Witness. The sparrow is symbolic of our global connections. Sparrows are found on nearly every continent. They make their homes in rural, suburban, and urban areas. They also create and improvise in both song and habitat. They symbolize collaboration because sparrows partner, and build/defend as a community. They clearly are 'witness' to both the creation and devastation of our planet worldwide.”Marla Mclean
