To The Sky

The first of seven bronze sculptures created by artist, Gerald Griffin for his "Paradigm Shift series. The artworks in this series were created as visual interpretations of original poems written by the artist over a period of twenty five years. 

A Black woman sits atop a torn American flag with broken shackles and chains on her feet. her head titled towards the sky as a suggestion of power and faith. An expression of determination to focus her mind to a spiritual world far beyond her apparent circumstances, show on her face.

Like my elders in Mississippi used to say,

"When the ground gets too hard... Focus on the sky".
