Presented as a gift of appreciation on Carlson’s 70th anniversary, the art commemorates the leadership and accomplishments of Carlson’s CEO. The art is a visual celebration of the plaque’s dedication message, “You have proven it is possible to lead with love.” The structure’s circular motif suggests an often quoted Rainer Maria Rilke poem, “I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world…” The yellow rose petals reflect the CEO’s signature flower, identified with her gracious leadership.
