Help me to let go... Sculpture

Inspired by the feeling of compassion evoked by the many votive images and objects I've seen in Latin America and Europe, I'm working on a series of ex-voto images, most of them in relief, which tell not so much of an accomplished miracle as of the simple desires, both practical and existential, that we humans of all backgrounds share. Our flaws, our fears, our desire for immaterial relief. Health, self-esteem, more control over the fleetingness of life, more respect, less anxiety, less arbitrary judgment, more courage, more love… Deep down we humans have more in common than we think. I think many people can relate to this particular wish... In the upper corner a small guardian angel leans in to give support.
