Similar to the feeling of having the rug pulled out from beneath your feet, this sculpture represents two sides to one person: one shows a contented life and the other has faced a personal hardship and is coming to terms with her new reality. The language of flowers helps tell this story. Floral meanings are listed below. This figurative sculpture is hand crafted from terracotta clay, decorated with underglazes, sgraffito, and washes, and fired three different times.
