How does this artwork represent healthy human aging? (Artwork Description)
This stained glass piece (9″ x 11.5″) depicts a woman rock climbing against the backdrop of a warm sunset, framed in oak to symbolize strength and resilience. Inspired by my coworker, who began climbing last year in her 40s, it celebrates the pursuit of new challenges at any age. This piece exemplifies how healthy aging is about embracing opportunities for growth, building both physical strength and mental resilience, and finding joy in movement. The vibrant colors of the sunset reflect the beauty of personal transformation, reminding us that it is never too late to reach for new heights and experience the brilliance of life’s adventures.
