Peace, Love, and Joy

The Work

UnityBeak is a body of work that began with a question FLY has been asking for years: what does it look like when thousands of small, identical objects come together to make something that none of them could be on their own?

The answer has always been the same: something bigger. Something that you feel before you understand it. Something that draws you in and invites you to look closer.

The Origin of Hope and Resilience

Hope came first. She was conceived as a straightforward proposition: what does optimism look like when it is given physical form?

Built from approximately 7,000 rubber ducks, Hope stands at 5'3", life sized, human, and immediate.

Resilience came second. Equal in height, but different in posture, shaped by endurance rather than expectation.

The Conversation Between Them

When installed at the Lincoln Road fountain, something unexpected happened. People didn’t just look, they stayed.

The space between the sculptures became the work itself: a reflection of distance, connection, and what it takes to bridge both.

Peace, Love, and Joy

These are not just words. They are the most essential human needs across time, culture, and place.

Peace lives in the space between. Love holds everything together. Joy is what people feel when they encounter it.
