	My youngest daughter is the sort that may join the Peace Corps someday. She loves people. And she is earning her history/world religions degree. When I pondered what she would appreciate I decided the piece had to deal with people caring about people. I chose to sculpt a young woman holding many smaller children in her hands. I put them in sort of a circle which to me represents our world. I gave them simple body language as they grasp each others hands. They each seem to have a personality of their own. That is how my daughter perceives people. She truly values the uniqueness of each individual. I used a rich, warm brown for the patina to bring out all the texture on the piece. And she stands on a rather thick heart that was given a muted red tone for interest. My daughter loves the piece of course!
