This image documents Rise, a sculpture by Fern Cunningham-Terry, translating a three-dimensional work into a two-dimensional visual format. The photograph mediates the viewer’s experience through decisions related to framing, lighting, and perspective, highlighting the role of documentation in shaping how sculpture is encountered outside of physical space. As an archival image, it reflects the importance of visual reproduction in preserving and disseminating the work of underrepresented artists.
