Description
This incredibly unique desk was one of the most favorite at the unveiling.  The artist had students and teachers write on to the desk what their dream would be.  It is so cleverly created and offers such insight into the hope of a new generation that it would be a wonderful asset in any school, the halls of the House of Representatives or Senate, psychologists or social workers office, in any business office setting, or principals office.

Artists Statement:

   When I look at a student desk, I try to define its meaning. Besides sitting on it, learning, doing work and sometimes sleeping on it, what else is there?

   During school days, students spend a lot of time sitting on the desk and during that time, a lot of thoughts run through their minds as they listen to their teacher. I sincerely believe that many great ideas and inventions, let alone dreams, have been born while sitting on a student desk.

   It is this concept and idea that inspired me to produce this desk as I see it: A desk full of dreams!
