The sculpture, named ‘Wisdom Begins With Wonder’, is the 20’ Charles Park’s Studio outdoor exhibit in front of DASEF’s Delaware Discovery Center (DDC).

The exhibit features five children of different nationalities standing on top of a bronze globe reaching for the stars. The globe, and the children are surrounded by interlocking rings, positioned in electron orbits, and displays the continents, oceans and sixteen endangered species.

The sculpture was originally envisioned and designed by Charles Parks and Dr. Stephanie Wright. The project was then handed over, constructed and realized by Parks’ protege, Brad Vanneman.
