The Phoenix

I found this statue in the middle of Five Points right near Underground Atlanta last semester. The rise of the Phoenix represents the rise of Atlanta after the city wide fires, Sherman's march, and the Civil War.

By placing this statue directly in the heart of Atlanta, a notably southern state most would say, the artist and company supported the rise of Atlanta. Support in the rebirth shows support in the South. This unity and sense of pride reflects and, in a way, represents the majority of the South.
