The Elusive Urban Unicorn
The Elusive Urban Unicorn
From corporate lobbies, to gallery installations, and music festivals, this majestic beast has enchanted viewers, and been in countless selfies. Her grace and stillness are almost soothing, and I have yet to see anyone resist her charms. CEOs and kids mirror the same reaction when they first meet her. She has lived a full life,yet has so much more to give.
Festival attendees on psychadelics had gatherings around her in spontaneous ritual, and she has been witness to at least one romantic, misty-eyed marriage proposal. She’d get an upgrade after every event, including a 3 foot long horn that appears golden until a dazzling display is activated with spiraling patterns and lights. The interchangeable horn has a clever magnetic base for easy swapping or removing for transport.
Since creating her, I have not been interested in giving her up. After all, where am I going to find another life-size unicorn? I was happy to share but kept her for myself. Now, it’s time to let her go to make room for a new creation.
