The Meaning Behind the I Love You Sculpture
“The sculpture, a collaboration between SCSDB and renowned artist-in-residence Bob Doster, is a testament to the beauty of communication and the celebration of art, education and community,” said Logen Belmont, Director of Strategic Communications. “It features the hands of fine arts students, school staff, and Spartanburg community members“
The symbol in American Sign Language is universally known among the deaf.
In American Sign Language (ASL), the phrase is signed by forming the letters I, L, and Y using your fingers. This involves extending your thumb, index finger, and pinky finger while keeping your middle and ring fingers closed against your palm.
The sign is a powerful symbol within the Deaf Community, commonly employed in different situations such as greetings, farewells, and moments of affection.
