Public Art: The Human Race
One of Raymond Lutgert’s Human Race geometric sculptures sits directedly in front of Lutgert Hall on the campus of Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Florida. Created in 2008, “the Human Race” sculpture is stationed in a beautiful reflection pool greeting visitors outside of the Lutgert School of Business as they enter the campus. As the sun hits the 24-foot, two-story columns, the patterned columns beam with bright light. The columns are described as two figures competing for success. One is ahead in victory and one left behind in defeat. My interpretation of the sculpture’s purpose is to encourage students to strive to stay ahead in their journey of achievements. It speaks strongly about our community’s desire to succeed. The “Human Race” sculpture certainly expresses the value of reaching for success.
That’s exactly what Raymond Lutgert did in his lifelong career as a pioneer land developer in Collier County. Prior to sculpting, his craft was to develop communities, homes and businesses. His work is in some of the most pristine areas of the state. When Raymond was 65, he learned to be a sculptor taking a class at Appalachian State University working with sculptor Wayne Trapp. He created hundreds of pieces of art prior to his death in 2010. In 2007, Raymond and his son Scott were given the LIFE award by the Edison College Foundation for their contributions to the community. They donated millions of dollars to help construct the Lutgert Hall, becoming the Lutgert School of Business at Florida Gulf Coast University. That I know of, there is at least one other Human Race sculpture in Collier County at Venetian Village, which Lutgert also developed. The full-round, three-dimensional sculpture is a beautiful sight not easily forgotten.

Journal 8: Post-conceptions
In this class, I've learned about how we affect climate change and some of the steps taken to combat this (UN meetings, Pachamama Alliance, ECHO farm, etc.). My perception of the class now mostly stayed the same from the beginning of the semester since we discussed environmentalism and sustainability as expected. However, one thing that changed for me was learning how my industry (healthcare) contributes heavily to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. I underestimated the impact we have on the environment, and it made me feel more passionate about my service-learning project to start a recycling initiative within Lee Health.
I also had to examine my sense of place, which I didn't realize had an impact on the choices I make. I took for granted how Southwest Florida shaped me until Hurricane Ian came through and destroyed my hometown and shook my perceived sense of place. I realize that this area still represents a home for me and that living here makes me more conscientious about promoting sustainability. Living in an area frequented by tourists made me see how poorly they treat our natural areas. Thanks to the information I learned in this class, I have a newfound sense of purpose and can make more intentional decisions to be a better carer of the planet. I also enjoyed our conversations in class about what we read and how it impacted each of us. This class did a good job of reminding me that no matter how different each person is, we can all unite and make our small changes bigger and more impactful.
