Cierra Pedro
Studied Sculpture at UNLV

Inspired by the rich tapestry of Japanese artistry, Goldwell Open Air Museum is home to Cierra Pedro’s sculpture, "1,000 in 1," an origami crane comprised of sheet metal. Unlike its traditional paper counterpart, this giant crane is meticulously folded from durable sheet metal, echoing the elegance and symbolism of the ancient senbazuru tradition. Each fold represents the unity of a thousand paper cranes, a cherished symbol of longevity and blessings in Japanese culture. Crafted with precision, the sculpture's dimensions mirror the collective size of its paper counterparts, embodying the mystical essence of the crane, revered for its purported thousand-year lifespan.

Raised in Hawaii, Pedro's fascination with Asian cultures infuses her work, while her current focus on digital media and photography underscores her dynamic artistic journey. Experience the convergence of tradition and modernity as "1,000 in 1" graces the landscape of the Goldwell Open Air Museum, a timeless tribute to the enduring allure of Japanese heritage.
