"Love, everlasting and true"
Size: 9"

"The posture and profile of this piece is somewhat iconic. It speaks about a love so strong that it continues on beyond a lifetime. The words 'everlasting and true' express the idea that love can go beyond death. The rose stem gradually blends into her body, so there's no separation between the object that she's holding and her body. I wanted the whole figure to be a symbol of love, not just the rose." Susan Lord
