The posture and profile of this piece is somewhat iconic. It speaks about a love so strong that it continues on beyond a lifetime. The words 'everlasting and true' express the idea that love can go beyond death. The rose stem gradually blends into her body, so there's no separation between the object that she's holding and her body. I wanted the whole figure to be a symbol of love, not just the rose.


My mother passed away at home last week while in hospice care. After her body had been removed, I saw that the funeral director had kindly re-made her bed and placed a long stem red rose on the bed. My dad gave my sister and me the Love figurine to express the eternal love that our mom had for us. Thank you for sharing these with us.
