Sometimes the bravest thing is to not let go.
Holding On captures the powerful dynamic between dreamer and anchor—two bronze figures connected by a golden rope in a moment of perfect tension. Above, one figure soars upward, arms reaching toward the sky, legs extended in flight. Below, another figure braces against the ground, gripping the rope with unwavering determination, making that flight possible.
This sculpture speaks to every relationship built on trust and sacrifice. The soaring figure represents our highest aspirations; the grounded figure represents those who believe in us enough to hold on, no matter the strain. The rope between them—rendered in warm golden bronze—is not a limitation but a lifeline.
Tolla Inbar's elegant composition creates a diagonal sweep of energy across space, with the contrasting dark bronze figures and golden rope creating visual drama from every angle. It's a tribute to parents, partners, mentors, and friends who give us roots so we can have wings.
