The two figures stand so close that the space between them almost vanishes. The mother’s body curves inward, not as an enclosing wall but as a living contour shaped by care. Her presence bends gently, instinctively, until the child is no longer simply beside her but within her line, her reach, her quiet gravity.
There is no gesture of grasping here. The child is not held tightly, because there is no need. Safety has already been established. The mother’s form does the work of reassurance- steady, unhurried, certain. The child’s smaller silhouette mirrors this calm, suggesting trust that does not ask questions.
The dark stone lends depth to this relationship. Its weight anchors the figures, turning tenderness into something enduring rather than fleeting. Smooth surfaces soften the severity of the material, allowing warmth to emerge not through detail, but through proportion and balance.
This sculpture speaks of care as a condition rather than an action. The mother does not perform protection; she is protection. In that quiet transformation- where presence itself becomes shelter- the bond between parent and child finds its most lasting form.
