Messenger Figurine - Willow Tree ®

Sometimes we see something, and it evokes a feeling, a memory, a presence of one we miss. For some, seeing a cardinal in the backyard, so brilliantly red against winter sky and tree silhouette signifies the spirit of one much loved. Birds are the perfect messengers, metaphors of hope and light.

“This piece is all about memories — how warm, comforting memories help us to heal when we’re missing someone. If you look closely at the carved icons on her dress, each recalls a memory by appealing to our senses…touch, scent, taste, sound, sight. We keep these personal memories safe within us, connecting us to those we love”
