'Family Peace,' statuette
A tender scene of peaceful family love is protrayed in suar wood by master artisan Wayan Rendah of Bali. The serene portrait of a proud father cradling a nursing mother creates a warm atmosphere of trust and reassurance, further illustrated in the heart-shaped forms of embracing arms. The fluid lines of the natural grain enhance the gentle portrayal of a contented family circle, wholly able to love and provide abundantly for the new baby. The piece may also be interpreted as a subtle reference to family planning, which has become a pressing issue in Indonesia where explosive population growth is creating social and political tensions. This charming study is crafted in a delicate figurative style set off by the warm inner glow of the wood's tone. Celebrate cherished family bonds with this delightful piece, intended to be shared and enjoyed.
