Crafted from iron wire and anchored on a rugged stone base, this sculpture captures a moment held between effort and release. The figure stretches upward, arms extended, gripping a curved, canopy-like form that seems to resist gravity as much as it negotiates with it. The posture is neither fully airborne nor firmly grounded; it exists in a state of deliberate suspension.
The iron wire body twists and tightens as it rises, giving the sense of strain carried through the spine and limbs. Each coil records pressure, movement, and resolution. Unlike smooth bronze or carved stone, the wire refuses illusion. It exposes the labour of making, line by line. The body feels drawn upward rather than lifted, as if ascent here is earned, not granted.
The rough stone base plays an essential role. Its irregular surface contrasts with the linear rhythm of the wire, marking the point of origin. From this raw ground, the figure ascends, carrying the weight of both material and intention. The stone is not merely a pedestal; it is the condition from which the action begins.
What emerges is a quiet meditation on balance and persistence. The sculpture does not dramatise flight or triumph. Instead, it holds a moment where strength is measured by endurance, and elevation comes from sustained effort rather than sudden escape.
