Rise Up

2020

White Onyx - 25x25x40cm

Rise Up is a minimalist study in motion and the defiance of gravity. Carved from a single block of stone, the sculpture depicts a simple disc caught in the energetic act of lifting itself from its base.

The composition uses a "stop-motion" aesthetic, freezing a split-second of upward momentum. By capturing the moment the disc breaks free from the horizontal plane, the work explores the tension between weight and levity. The transition from the static base to the rising circular form suggests an awakening or a sudden surge of kinetic energy.

This piece strips away all narrative detail to focus purely on form and direction. It serves as a visual metaphor for the act of ascending—transforming the heavy permanence of the medium into a snapshot of a rising, liberated force.
