Artist Quote	“Youngstown likes to celebrate with fireworks, and the ‘Fourth of July’ penguin honors this tradition. This penguin conveys a celebratory mood by standing atop a white base adorned with red and blue bunting. The base represents the decorated stage of a community Fourth of July celebration in daylight, with the top of the base representing the sky turning to dusk. By the time you reach the top of the penguin’s body, it is pitch-black darkness. In this darkness, the vibrant, colorful fireworks are ‘bursting in air!’”
