Title: Empowered
Medium: Bronze
Dimensions: 28"h x 14"w
"I have created a Jesus that, in spite of the crowds, politics and persecution’s, has risen above unfathomable pain- in fact accepted and embraced discomfort to the point of gratitude, grace, and empowerment. And, as we all appreciate so very much those that blaze the path before us, may we look to our prophets and mentors as examples and segues that enable and empower us to new heights, higher dimensions and a much grander vision!" Gary Lee Price
"Empowered" showcases a bronze sculpture of a Jesus Christ with arms outstretched horizontally. He has a lean, muscular build and is depicted with a cloth draped around his lower body. The sculpture is mounted on a narrow, textural rectangular pedestal, which itself is placed on a flat base. The overall composition conveys a dramatic pose with a raw, emotive quality. Price created a symbolic sculpture that represents rising above, inspiring us to new heights.
