Where Whispers Take Flight | Community Installation

A tapestry of delicate paper birds, each one carries a whisper-a personal reflection, a wish, or a thought that takes flight into the world.

Throughout the month of March, visitors are encouraged to contribute their own creations, adding to the ever-growing collection of origami birds suspended from the gallery ceiling. With each new addition, the installation grows, a collective expression of shared humanity, resilience, and possibility.

This exhibit celebrates the power of community and the profound impact of small acts of creativity. It’s an invitation to release our voices into the world, to inspire others, and to recognize that even the smallest whispers, carried by the wings of our dreams, can shape a brighter future.

Call for Community Participation:

We invite you to be part of something special-an art installation that soars with hope, dreams, and shared inspiration.

Join us in creating Where Whispers Take Flight, a community-driven experience at The HeArt Box this March. We are seeking your personal messages of hope, your dreams for the future, and your whispers of encouragement to be transformed into origami birds that will fill our gallery with beauty and meaning.

How to Participate:

1. Create: Fold your own origami bird, and inscribe it with a message of hope, a wish, or a dream.

2. Contribute: Add your bird to our growing collection of messages, hanging from the ceiling and becoming part of the living art piece. Birds can be mailed in or dropped off.

3. Inspire: Your bird will join others, creating a vibrant, collective expression of community and connection.

No experience necessary! This is a space for all ages, backgrounds, and levels of creativity. Each bird you make is a part of something larger-together, we will lift each other with our hopes and dreams. You may submit as many birds as you would like, size limitation under 5” in length.
