A hand sculpted in clay is placed on a map over the location of the REACH Ashland Youth Center. The words “meet me here” in the artwork and the symbols reference the concept by which community is built through the meeting of our hearts. The heartshaped mirror has the word “Leader” over it. As youth look into the mirror, they will see their own potential as leaders in their reflection.

“I was inspired by a young woman in one of my workshops who said, ‘I want a piece of art that is good to be near – almost like a friend. So you visit that favorite artwork, or meet someone there, and it feels like a home away from home.’” – Miranda Bergman
