Story Behind the Artwork
Vertical Climb distills ascent into a symbolic stack of elements — metal, feather, bone, stone — each one representing a different stage of rising. The sphere hangs above like intention, the feather like hope, the skull like memory, and the stones like foundation. The entire arrangement floats in impossible balance, creating a quiet, surreal meditation on how progress is built: one layer at a time, one truth resting on another.
