About This Piece

This sculptural composition includes two stylized depictions of the sheriff badge, one standing upright, the other leaning for support. The upright badge features a mirror-like star, inviting the viewer to become part of the work. The leaning badge features 21 rivets alluding to the 21-gun salute heard at the annual ceremony honoring fallen deputies.
