"Rising (for Walt Whitman)" by Mark di Suvero is a dynamic copper-plated aluminum sculpture composed of five distinct parts that together evoke a sense of upward movement and expansive energy. The warm, lustrous copper surface lends an organic richness to the industrial aluminum forms, bridging the natural and the constructed. True to di Suvero's signature style, the work embodies themes of freedom and human aspiration, paying homage to Whitman's celebrated celebration of the American spirit.
