Description
Willow Tree Figure – Always is a beautiful and emotive piece of art that depicts a young girl sitting on a pillar -like base,cradling a heart shaped object in her arms.
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.
“This piece is about the strength and permanence of love. The figure’s gesture proclaims, in an outward way, the happiness of being loved… and that love endures – it has, and always will be there.The etched rock echoes this idea of permanence and strength. Petroglyphs (etchings in stone) were ancient history’s graffiti – a way of mark-making that expressed feelings in a visual way. We value petroglyphs because they have endured for thousands of years. We treasure that which survives the test of time. So the whole piece communicates a love that is strong, sure and lasting.” —Susan Lordi
The pose of the figure is also noteworthy. She is clutching the heart shaped object close to her chest and her chin is resting on the object. This position suggests a sense of protectiveness and tenderness, as if she is nurturing and safeguarding her most precious feelings in her arms.
Willow Tree Figure – Always has the overall effect of warmth, love, and deep emotion. It is a testament to the power of love and the importance of cherishing and protecting the people and things that are most important to us. It is a perfect gift for someone special in your life, whether it’s a partner, a family member, or a close friend. It is a beautiful reminder that love is always present, even in the most difficult times, and that it is a force that can sustain us and give us strength.
