“Dawn” by Sheila and Ron Ruiz is a luminous bronze sculpture created through the traditional lost-wax casting process, commencing with a hand-sculpted clay model. Ruiz carefully articulates each butterfly and sculptural element in clay to capture the first moments of light and motion; a mold is then crafted, bronze is cast, and the piece is hand-chased, refined, and finished with her signature enamel/patina technique to evoke the warmth and promise of early morning.
This sculptural work is suffused with symbolic renewal and delicate energy—making Dawn both visually graceful and emotionally resonant.
