About the Piece:
The "Patience" figurine was inspired by the quiet moments of self-reflection that help guide us toward personal growth. Susan Lordi reflects on her design:
"Patience is about inner reflection, peace, and calm. Her coloring is very soft, very quiet. I wanted the viewer to feel the weight of her leaning on her hands. To feel the passage of time—when everything stops—to be in the present. It's a reminder to take a moment to breathe."
