Description

Emergence is a cast bronze sculpture depicting a woman with long hair flowing down to her right upper thigh. Her hair is parted and covers both of her eyes. The statue is 68 inches (1.7 m) tall and weighs approximately 130 pounds. Eckland has described the work as a "young woman... poised at rest just prior to departing... [S]he is indeed ready to emerge."
