CEO of S Hotels, Christopher Issa, says the record 62-foot-tall monument is meant to represent Jamaica’s recovery from Hurricane Melissa.
He was speaking with Nationwide @ 5 on Wednesday during the official unveiling of the “Together We Rise” monument.
The monument was commissioned by Issa as a symbol of unity, resilience, and renewed civic pride.
The towering Together We Rise sculpture, Jamaica’s tallest monument, was erected at the S Hotel in Montego Bay, which is located on Jimmy Cliff Boulevard, popularly known as the Hip Strip.
Created by renowned Jamaican sculptor Scheed Cole, it features two hands lifting a tree as people climb and build together.
Issa says the artwork represents the collective effort required to move Montego Bay forward following Melissa.
He hailed the S Hotel team for its relief efforts during and post hurricane Melissa.
