"I created this body of work over the last few months as I was thinking about the current state of our world and the current state of my being. From an internal stance to a global social perspective, I see the real gold existing in the hearts of the people, and true power resulting from the many united as one. The work is a statement, a message, and an energy meant to inspire a better way of living. Rise is about elevation, both in the mind and the hearts of the people—it’s a call to action about coming together to overcome the things that keep us down as individuals, nations, and humans as a whole. Together, I believe we can and we will rise." – Bisco Smith
