"Guardian" - 2022

28' x 11' x 4'-10" - Epoxy painted stainless steel.

Two identical figures, joined at the waist, facing forward and back. The sculpture symbolizes the firefighters protecting the community.

The artwork was partially inspired by Michaelangelo's painting on the Sistine ceiling depicting God rushing toward the viewer and simultaniously rushing away. His work symboized the everpresence of God.
