Behind every climber, someone believes.
Support depicts the most fundamental act of human kindness: helping someone rise. A dark bronze figure climbs a knotted golden rope, reaching upward with determination, while below, another figure physically lifts them—hands cradling their foot, body braced to provide the boost that makes ascent possible.
This sculpture captures a moment of pure, selfless assistance. The supporter doesn't climb themselves; they have chosen to be the foundation upon which another's dreams can stand. The knots in the rope represent the challenges and handholds on any difficult journey—but it's the human support below that provides the crucial difference between falling and flying.
Tolla Inbar's composition creates a powerful diagonal of upward energy, with the contrast between dark bronze figures and golden rope adding visual warmth to this deeply moving tableau. It's a tribute to every parent, mentor, friend, and stranger who has lifted someone when they couldn't climb alone.
