Ascending Spirit is a beautiful hand-carved Opal stone sculpture by Zimbabwean sculptor Simon Chidharara. A two-time former artist-residence with ZimArt, Simon has travelled to Canada twice (2007 and 2013). In 2014 he became the first artist from the African continent to be represented in the permanent collection of the Haliburton Sculpture Forest.
Ascending Spirit was damaged in shipping the work from Zimbabwe to Canada. It has now been fully restored. ZimKids is looking for an individual or organization who would donate $3000 to ZimKids in exchange for the sculpture. 100% of the proceeds would go towards project implementation in Zimbabwe.
This sculpture was sold with all proceeds going to Zimkids.
