The new public art installation called ‘Soar’ hovers 10 feet above the floor at the new UNT at Frisco’s Frisco Landing.
"It is a design that has 3 abstract eagle feathers that sort of twist around each other," Karkare said, adding that inclusion was an important message to convey."And that's why the feathers are intertwining and sort of spiraling next to each other."
Inclusion was a message that hit close to home for the artist, who was born in India and moved to the U.S. in high school. "The fact that I belong from a different culture, but had to sort of set incorporated into this culture," Karkare said."So that's what I tried to convey.""So it expands as you walk up the stairs," Karkare explained."But when you're underneath the sculpture it almost looks like it's 2-D."
Karkare is a 4th-year art student who will graduate soon, but his art will remain, suspended in time. "Maybe in 25-30 years if I walk in, it's gonna be, 'Did I really make that?" Karkare exclaimed."It's surreal, honestly!"
