Encaustic Mixed Media
17x6x5

Inspired by Maya Angelou’s poem Still I Rise, this sculpture embodies resilience, strength, and the unbreakable human spirit. The elongated figure reaches upward, lifting a circular form above its head—a symbol of unity and perseverance.

Created in encaustic mixed media, its textured surface carries earthy tones that speak to both struggle and triumph. The rugged patina reflects the passage of time, honoring the challenges we overcome and the growth that follows.

Grounded on a solid base, Still I Rise stands as a quiet yet powerful reminder of endurance and hope—an invitation to rise, again and again.
