Willow Tree By My Side by Susan Lordi

"From each other, over the years, we gather strength, through laughter and tears"

A gift to celebrate supportive friendships among women—best friends, sisters, co-workers, neighbours.

This piece features a large sculpture of 3 tall women standing next to each other, attached to a base of metal and gold-leaf. The figures are in cream dresses, with their skirts embellished in blue ombré and gold-leaf dots at the base. The arms and hands of the figures are around each other.

Piece measures 24cm.

"I have two sisters—as far back as I can remember, the three of us have always been very connected. Even if they are far away, I feel like they're always right here, by my side. It's the little, fun, silly moments—thousands of them—that fill me up when I'm with my female friends, be they sisters, girlfriends, cousins... Shared experiences and laughter form a lifelong reservoir of trust that allows us to be vulnerable around each other. And out of vulnerability comes strength. I know I can count on my sisters and girlfriends whenever I need support... or a good dose of humor." –Susan Lordi
