This project explores the intersection of materiality and community. Vedro invited Boston community members to create “wishmarks”, hammering into steel panels while focusing on a wish. Hundreds of wishmarks are welded into this sculpture and appear as subtle surface textures.  Installed outside the 2nd floor entrance to Boston’s City Hall, Amulet is intended as a family of guardian birds protecting the moving energy of the city, offering us safe passage through a shared landscape.
