Acceptance Speech

Bronze Statuette: 3rd — 2nd century B.C.

I gave. You got.
You now have and I have not.

Thank-you to you and you and you and you and you.
May your mind travel great distances with what I do.

The work is devoted to a simple-single-solid point.
A point that would be lost to me, if it weren’t for you.

When clarity nudges my senses and gives me pause,
It translates something small into a dream devoted to all.

So I thank you for making me work.
What left from me and went to you,
frees up space in me,
to give more to you.
