Giant in the Sky
You are walking through a vast desert—there is nothing around for miles and miles. Suddenly, you come upon a giant structure that looks like a man with outstretched arms. It is so large that you don’t even reach the top of the third finger on one of the man’s hands. Does this experience make you feel small?

Popper built Reflections, the 30-foot-high, three-story sculpture, using reclaimed wood. What other “reflections,” or thoughts about big ideas does this monumental work of art inspire in you?
