Artwork Story: The symbolic story of the weak winning over the strong due to his courage, Resourcefulness and faith were the source of inspiration for this sculpture. The young shepherd winning over Goliath, the Philistine giant of a warrior who cursed the God of Israel. The sculpture has no facial features, but the shape of David’s head is similar to that in David Playing the Harp. The rotary motion of the arm with the sling, David’s focus and determination to save his people, are awe-inspiring and symbolize the victory of spirit over matter.
