The path is broken. Climb anyway.
Challenge presents a powerful meditation on perseverance when the way forward is anything but clear. Two figures with soft verdigris patina scale a dark, broken ladder—rungs missing, structure twisted, gaps that would stop most climbers. Yet they climb anyway, reaching for the next handhold wherever it may be.
This sculpture speaks to everyone who has faced an obstacle-strewn path. The ladder isn't merely difficult—it's fundamentally incomplete. Success requires adaptation, creativity, and the determination to find a way when the obvious route doesn't exist. The figures don't wait for an easier ladder; they climb the one before them.
Tolla Inbar's design creates visual tension through the contrast between the pale, determined figures and the dark, unforgiving structure they navigate. It's a tribute to problem-solvers, survivors, and anyone who has ever succeeded despite the odds.
