Woman: Tenderness

This figure is about the courage to be tender. The courage to be vulnerable, to be soft, to allow yourself to be the way you can be — or want to be. A reminder, sculpted in wood, that tenderness is not something to be earned. It already lives inside, waiting to be accepted. A small object for a shelf, a windowsill, a desk — or for a child learning the word for what they feel.

Solid ash or maple wood. Water-based pigment. Ages 3+

Designed in collaboration with illustrator Olga Rotaenko, finished by hand in Korosten, Ukraine.
