The soaring sculptures of birds and angels that Dina Merhav crafts from scrap iron salvages not only the waste metal but also the artist’s hopes for a peaceful future. If the very material used to make implements of destruction can instead be fashioned into symbols of peace and blessing, then perhaps there could be an end to the seemingly endless wars that have marked the Yugoslavian-born sculptress’s 76 years."
