Artwork Description

The weather forecast printed beneath the figures speaks of shifting conditions and changing winds, yet it is the human story that takes centre stage in Strong Push. A caregiver and children move forward together across a historical weather chart, creating a work that feels deeply hopeful despite the uncertainty suggested by its title.

Forsyth has an extraordinary ability to find poetry in everyday moments. Here, the chart becomes more than a document of meteorological observation. It becomes a metaphor for the unseen forces that shape our lives and the resilience required to navigate them. The figures seem united by purpose, reminding us that progress is often made together.

Measuring 37 x 26 cm framed, Strong Push is a unique original artwork that combines storytelling, history and human connection. StateoftheART offers free tracked delivery within South Africa, secure worldwide shipping, and a seven-day money-back guarantee should the artwork not be quite right for your space once viewed in person.
