Description
“Uprising” is a poignant and deeply evocative cedar wood sculpture that draws its inspiration from a heart-wrenching incident in Belize City, where a fetus was discovered in one of the city’s canals. This abstract piece serves as a tribute to the sanctity and preciousness of life, emphasizing the inherent value and potential within every creation.
Crafted from a cherished piece of driftwood found on the northern beaches of the Sibun Bar Mouth, this sculpture holds a profound connection to nature and the cycle of life. The artist’s emotional bond with the driftwood, felt from the moment it was picked up, mirrors the preciousness of a fetus—a nascent form of life that deserves nurturing and protection.
The abstract form of the sculpture captures the essence and hope for humanity, inviting viewers to reflect on the miracle of creation. The smooth, organic lines of the cedar wood symbolize growth and the potential for life to flourish, while the raw, natural texture of the driftwood speaks to the authenticity and unfiltered beauty of nature.
