About the Piece
Artist Susan Lordi shares:
“I love to hear from people who see in my figures who or what they want to see. It’s another reason I like to keep Willow Tree open—so there’s room for the viewer to interpret it in their own way. I hear from so many people who tell me the figure reminds them of their child, their friend, or even their own personal experience. One woman told me that the "Cherish" figure was exactly how she carried her baby during her third pregnancy! With "Cherish," I wanted to break new ground. I hadn’t seen a figure of a very pregnant woman before. The form of pregnancy is so beautiful, and the experience itself is so profound. I wanted to capture and celebrate that very special time of life.”
The "Cherish" figurine is a tribute to the incredible journey of motherhood and the love that surrounds a growing family, making it a deeply meaningful gift for any expecting mother or family welcoming a new baby into their lives.
