The sculpture “Standing Firm” embodies the state of inner strength and integrity — the ability to remain true to oneself and one’s values even when standing alone.Rooted on its own foundation, the figure symbolizes self-awareness, stability, and quiet protection of what is truly meaningful. Crafted from solid beech wood and painted by hand in turquoise, black, beige, and terracotta, the work unites archaic stillness with contemporary symbolism. It is a reflection on resilience — holding your ground while shaping your reality.
