The sculpture curves inward with a tenderness that feels instinctive rather than sculpted. A larger figure bends to cradle a smaller form, both enclosed within the same sweeping arc of stone. There is no distance between the two bodies; their contours flow into one another, suggesting lineage, continuity, and an intimacy that precedes language.
The gesture is protective but not possessive. The elder figure does not dominate the space; instead, it shapes itself around the child, creating a shared shelter. The child’s presence is quiet yet central, held at the core of the composition where weight, balance, and meaning converge. What emerges is not a narrative of dependence, but of belonging.
The elongated lines emphasize connection across generations. The form rises from a stable base and curves forward, as though the act of care itself gives the sculpture its momentum. This is blood not as inheritance alone, but as responsibility, memory, and an unbroken thread of care.
Embracing One’s Own Blood speaks of bonds that are not chosen yet deeply affirmed. It reflects the instinct to protect what carries one’s own past and future at once, and it honours kinship as something physical, enduring, and quietly powerful.
