Willow Tree Figure – Little Things depicts a young girl holding a potted milkweed plant with outstretched arms as if she is handing it over or has just received it. The figure symbolises gratitude and appreciation.
Gratitude is the foundation on which appreciation grows and flourishes. Sometimes someone can do something really small for us ….but it fills a big gap in our heart. Little gestures of kindness can go a long way to making one feel special or that they have added value to someone elses life.
Susan Lordi’s figures are simple and elegant with no facial features. This to allow for a universal emotional connection between the viewer and the piece. Emotion is displayed through expressive gestures and body languages. The figures can evoke a range of emotions that are relatable to people from different cultures and backgrounds. The sculptures are made of resin but fashioned to appear like they are carved of wood.
“It’s the little things we do that make a big difference… This figure holds a native milkweed plant, destined for her garden. Milkweed is the only host plant for the miraculous monarch butterfly. Small acts have a big impact. By planting native species that our birds, bees and butterflies need to survive, we’re doing a little thing to help heal nature. And in so doing, nature heals us with its bounty.” –Susan Lordi .
The neutral colour palette and minimalist design allow the figure to blend seamlessly into any decor style, making it a versatile gift for any occasion. This figure is perfect for a bedside table or it can even occupy prime spot in the family living area.
Willow Tree Figure – Little Things is a thank you piece for those who act with kindness toward others, such as teachers, friends, volunteers or essential workers. It is a beautiful and meaningful representation of love and appreciation.
