In this artwork, the artist explores the concept of aspiration, perseverance, and collective strength through the imagery of the B.A.A. unicorn. Below this Boston Marathon symbol, you can see the iconic winged foot image as well. The unicorn, often regarded as a symbol of power and purity, represents an ideal that is both aspirational and elusive—much like the goal of running a marathon. The race itself embodies the pursuit of something that is always just out of reach, yet motivates individuals to continuously strive for improvement, breaking personal boundaries and reaching new heights but also reaching for something bigger than themselves.
The winged foot, a symbol of athleticism and the relentless drive to excel, serves as a reminder of the dedication, discipline, and sportsmanship that the athletes embody.  It is not just the physical strength but the mental resilience to push forward with hope, even when the finish line seems distant.
A ribbon weaves through the artwork, symbolizing the way communities come together for a common cause. It represents the fundraising and collective efforts that fuel powerful movements worldwide like the Boston Marathon—Truly demonstrating that individual determination, when united with others, can create meaningful and magical change. The artwork reflects the idea that, while one person may start the journey, it is through the strength of the collective that true progress is made.
This piece is a celebration of humanity, unity, and the ongoing pursuit of something greater than ourselves.
