This carved wooden form unfurls like a protective crescent, its polished concavity gathering light as though it were breath held in a quiet vigil. Within the sheltering arc, the simplified figures—reduced to rounded nodes and tender protrusions—suggest a maternal embrace that is at once intimate and monumental, turning caregiving into architecture. The warm, burnished patina and soft transitions between planes temper the sculpture’s mass, while the spiral motion implies continuity: affection not as a moment, but as a cyclical, sustaining force.
