Emerging Freedom is a hand-carved sculpture of an eagle, created from Colorado alabaster. The form rises from the rough, natural base of the stone, transitioning into smoothly carved feathers and a powerful, upward-reaching head—symbolizing strength, vigilance, and the moment just before flight.

The eagle appears to emerge directly from the stone itself, emphasizing the connection between raw material and refined form. Soft translucence within the alabaster allows light to move gently across the surface, highlighting layered feather details while preserving a sense of solidity and weight.

By leaving portions of the stone unrefined, the artist honors the natural character of the alabaster and reinforces the theme of emergence—freedom shaped through effort, restraint, and intention. Emerging Freedom is both a tribute to the eagle and a quiet reflection on resilience, independence, and the power found in transformation.
