Beautifully observed, and articulated Brent.

and i think a wonderful homage to Michelangelo. Namaste, Adrian

There is something in the nakedness that moves this beyond vulnerable - almost like I should not be looking. Yet I cannot help looking. Which then brings me face to face with death. I then look to the son's (?) reaction - and it seems so intent on the utility of caring for the dead - not really so much sad (how many minutes in a row can you really be sad?). It is nice to be seeing a mirror that shows us how we are.

Is this wax? So lifelike. One of the inevitables of the human condition. Very well done!

Cheers Guys, not since getting up close and personal with Michelangelos' Pietà, have I experienced a reaction to a sculpture as I again felt here - different, but similar. A.
