$24,500.00

Carry the Stone No. 2 is a reflection on resilience, community, and the enduring strength that emerges when we help one another carry the stone. The work explores the burdens, responsibilities, and challenges that shape our lives, reminding us that strength is often found not in carrying the weight alone, but in sharing it with others. Through perseverance, compassion, and collective effort, what appears to be a burden can become a source of connection, growth, and purpose.

The stone serves as both a physical and symbolic presence, representing the weight of experience, obligation, memory, and hope. Rather than focusing solely on struggle, Carry the Stone No. 2 invites viewers to consider the dignity found in endurance and the transformative power of community. It is a meditation on perseverance, shared responsibility, and the quiet strength that emerges when we carry life's burdens together.
