Ideals, Bronze sculpture in Lloyd District, Portland, US

The bronze sculpture depicts a female-like figure in hooded drapery garment form with no visible figure inside, measuring six feet tall.

Muriel Castanis completed this sculpture in February 1992 as part of the One Percent for Art in State Buildings Collection program.

The Smithsonian Institution categorizes this abstract and allegorical sculpture as a representation of hope through its standing draped figure form.

Located at the northwest exterior corner of Portland State Office Building at 800 Northeast Oregon Street, the sculpture includes four footlights in its base.

The 850-pound bronze sculpture features a green patina finish and creates an illusion of fabric movement without containing an actual human form.
