"Red for Resistance" is a dynamic metal sculpture that stands 5 feet tall. Created from powder-coated steel, this piece features an interplay of black and red elements. These angular and curved shapes twist and rise in a fluid, flame-like motion that captures a sense of movement and energy. The sculpture is both abstract and figurative – reflecting a female figure on her knees but rising with determination.
The sculpture’s dramatic use of contrasting colors accentuates its intricate design, drawing the viewer's eye and evoking a powerful visual experience. The abstract forms intertwine and overlap, creating a dynamic composition that speaks to resilience and strength.
Reflecting on themes of oppression and discrimination, "Red for Resistance" symbolizes the enduring spirit and determination of women who have faced these adversities. The unique and highly abstract depiction of the female form within the sculpture serves as a profound testament to their struggle and triumphs. This artwork not only stands as a striking visual piece but also as a poignant reminder of resilience and hope.
