Adversity

CA$ 195.00 CAD

This sculpture is a part of a series entitled, 'L'apogée'. The word apogée means the summit. It requires a huge amount of effort, hard work, determination, and perseverance to reach the summit. This is how it is when one sets out to accomplish a major goal in life. There are many setbacks and failures. Along with that there are successes also. This bust entitled, 'adversity' is a reminder that difficulties and challenges make us appreciate and value the successes even more.

The Story Behind

"Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit." Napoleon Hill

Adversity, challenges, failures, and setbacks are a normal part of life. Whenever I have tried to do something major, I have encountered these, as I am sure you have too. I created a series of busts showing different emotions and states of mind that we go through as we try to accomplish something important. There are days when everything goes right and there are days when nothing seems to go right. Those days are also good. They teach us how to value and appreciate sussessful and happy moments.
