The statue portrays a suffering mother in imitation stone. She is grieving with her face buried in her hands. She is approached by her aborted baby, depicted in a young child’s transparent form. The child reaches up to touch the woman’s head in a tender gesture of forgiveness and healing.

Yes it is and how humble is he…

Despite the success of his sculpture, the artist said that it’s not really his work, but God’s. He said he often asked people to pray for him while he was working on it. For him, their prayers made the long process a bit easier.

“It is not my work, I am only a sculptor and I must work with the material,” he said. When he prayed and asked others to pray for the statue, “the work was not so hard.”
