This sculpture captures one of the simplest, yet most profound gestures in human life- the moment a mother lowers her head to look at her child. With only two rounded forms and a sweep of stone, the artist evokes an entire world of tenderness without needing a single literal detail.
The tall, tapering figure bends gently, its curved arc drawing the eye downward toward the small sphere resting at its edge. That sphere becomes the presence of a child unmistakably- held close, acknowledged, adored. Nothing in the piece is sharp or angular; every contour softens into the next, as though shaped by affection itself.
The warm, honeyed tone of the marble adds to this sense of closeness. It feels like a colour drawn from sunlight on skin, from sand warmed by late afternoon. The stone’s natural texture lends a groundedness, reminding the viewer that tenderness, too, can be strong and steady.
Placed in a home, this sculpture becomes a reminder: of hands that steadied us, of voices that soothed us, of the first gaze that told us we belonged.
