I watched an old woman standing beside a gurney as her husband was wheeled toward an ambulance.
I couldn’t shake it. So I sculpted it.
Two trees — her limbs intertwined with his, catching him as he falls away. Roots tangled together after a lifetime. Neither ready to let go.
This is what love looks like after decades.

Hand sculpted original. One of a kind.

Moments like the one that inspired this piece stay with you. Their two trees wrap around each other so closely that you cannot tell where one ends and the other begins, just like a couple who has shared a whole lifetime. This sculpture honors long marriages, faithful partners and the promise to stay together through everything. It would be a deeply meaningful 50th anniversary gift, a tribute to grandparents, or a memorial piece celebrating a love that lasted a lifetime. Hand sculpted from a single block of clay using my Intuitive Expressionism approach, it is the only one of its kind.
