“This large, rising Phoenix sculpture is internally lit to serve as a beacon in the night. It signifies a nexus to South Phoenix, where much of this city originates. The fiber-reinforced plastic body is light and translucent but allows for a charge of color both day and night.
The Phoenix honors the cyclical nature of life in our community, and the resiliency of its people. The light inside is a metaphor for the fire within all of us to thrive in this environment.
Isaac hopes Phoenicians will find meaning in its strength, and that it will inspire them to progress our legacy as people of the desert.”
