This sculpture was made while my son was only 16 months old. I wanted to capture something that depicted the intense bond between mother and child. I sculpted it quickly with fervor as I wanted to convey the importance of capturing the instant. In parenthood, as soon as you see a moment to capture, it seems to disappear. They grow so fast, and I don't want to forget the original connection. "Nurture″ is about the miracle of life and the joy of loving a child so passionately.
