Flying High

Recycled Metal Kite Flyer Sculpture

Handcrafted from reclaimed and recycled metal — giving new life to industrial materials, meaning no two are ever the same.

Some days, all you need is a good wind and something worth holding on to.

Flying High is a handcrafted metal sculpture made from reclaimed industrial components — steel wire, nuts and bolts — welded by hand and mounted on a solid steel base. The figure leans back against the pull of the line, arms raised, as a bold yellow kite soars overhead on a string of red and yellow rungs. It’s a piece that captures pure, uncomplicated joy — the kind that stays with you long after the wind drops.

It’s the kind of piece that earns its place on a shelf, a desk or a windowsill — and starts conversations every time.

Work with your hands, heal your mind.
