This sculpture by artist William Kolok was commissioned specifically for Holy Trinity Heritage Park. The piece draws its inspiration from E. E. Cummings’ beloved poem [i carry your heart with me(i carry it in], a work that reflects themes of enduring love, connection, and the profound bonds we share with one another.

Kolok’s sculptures reflect his deep interest in nature and are created to be experienced in a personal and tangible way. Rather than simply being viewed from a distance, his works are meant to be seen and touched, encouraging visitors to engage with the art and contemplate its meaning for themselves. Within the peaceful surroundings of Holy Trinity Heritage Park, this piece offers a fitting invitation to reflect on love, remembrance, and the people we carry with us throughout our lives.

A versatile sculptor, Kolok has been a Kentucky resident for more than 35 years and maintains a studio in Owensboro. His work in Holy Trinity Heritage Park contributes to the park’s unique blending of art, nature, faith, and reflection, creating a space where visitors can pause and consider the connections that give meaning to our lives.
