Suspension Bridge
(Fortitude & Determination)

The strength depicted in this piece is dedication, and in this case to a community. The deities holding up the bridge have committed to supporting the safety, industry, and wellbeing of the people that raised them. One alone could not support the bridge, for they also depend on each other. They do not clock out, they do not rest, they cannot even stand for they have become the brick, metal, and wood of the purpose they serve. This is not resignation as with Atlas, nor a punishment for a failure; they chose this role, and embody the power necessary to fulfill it.
