This sculpture captures the tender collision of strength and gentleness. The child’s delicate form rests in the embrace of a figure carved with powerful tension, and yet the moment is soft, almost breathing. The contrast between the sturdy arms and the infant’s vulnerability evokes a quiet reverence. It speaks not of lineage, but of connection—of the primal tenderness that arises simply from holding another life close. Here, compassion is not grand, but intimate and elemental.
