Roots and Wings
Bronze, life-size
Renate Burgyan Fackler
Central Ohio Branch
Roots and Wings, a life-size bronze sculpture by artist Renate Burgyan Fackler, was inspired by a poem of the same title. In this sculpture, a young girl is releasing a bird encouraging it to embrace life. She is both grounded and suspended at the same time. “I strive to bring my sculptures to life, engaging my audience in an emotionally uplifting experience,” Fackler said.
This sculpture, like many of her works, was created using the complex method of lost wax bronze casting.
A member of the Central Ohio Branch, Fackler’s works are found in the collections of The Museum of Women in the Arts, The White House, John Glen International Airport, The Ohio State University, and private individuals.

Beautiful and inspiring!
Awesome artwork. I love the way you interpreted the title.
What a beautiful setting for such a lovely sculpture! The bronze works so well against the greenery and makes for an uplifting piece. It’s amazing that Renate can make such a lifelike replica out of metal, and make us believe there is a bird in flight and a breeze whirling the young lady’s skirt. Brava!
Delightfully magnificent.
