This was a major hit with my wife. The piece is truly beautiful and the image of a heart on fire was perfect for Valentine's Day. She couldn't wait to see it so I gave it to her early.
I love this artist's sculptures of people. She seems able to capture and preserve those special moments. I've given a number of these away, and everyone is always awed by them and seem to really treasure them.
This is for my daughter who lost her firstborn child when he was 5 days old. He would now be 15 months old if he had lived. My daughter also recently had a little girl who was born on April 1st. So I wanted to give her a Mothers Day gift that would include both of her children. And this piece is perfect for the ages of the children and of course for how beautiful and how well it is made. I know my daughter will love it when I give it to her on 5-12-2019. The meaning behind it will forever be cherished. Thank you Made Wirata for this exquisite piece that was so perfectly made and so wonderfully wrapped. I love it, thank you!!!
