Venus Rising — originally released during the height of the COVID‑19 pandemic to benefit two children’s charities — is a now-iconic underwater image by Christy Lee Rogers. In it, three figures lift and support a central form on a flowy, shell‑like fabric, all illuminated in a chiaroscuro dance of glowing light and deep shadow. The work evokes the pathos and drama of Baroque masters like Caravaggio and Rubens through its intense contrasts, theatrical movement, and emotional poignancy ().
Created as an offering of hope amid global uncertainty, Venus Rising raised funds for Save the Children and No Kid Hungry. It envisioned a message of unity, compassion, and collective resilience—lifting one another toward beauty, even in the darkest moments.
