Protected Love Wire, red paper, blue paper. 2"x1.5"x1.5" The scuplture reflects the memory of my mother reading me my favorite book growing up. In this book there is a mother and daughter racoon. The mother racoon would alwayskiss the daughters hand before school to show that she carries her mothers love with her everywhere. My mother would do the same for me before I would go to school. This small gesture of love is represented through this scuplure by the red, which represents my mothers love, and the wire which is protecting this love, and like her love I will be able to carry it anywhere with me knowing it is safe within my palm.
