Piece has cloud-like designs with waves along the bottom and is in a U-shape featuring fluid curves; signed and numbered by the artist. Reverse is hollow, marked "2234" in two places, and includes hardware for hanging. It measures approximately 19" x 4.75" x 19.5" tall. Below you will find Mary's statement regarding the artwork: “Oh sun you reached my heart today and sparked a new desire. Captivated am I by this silent moment of revival. Oh place your sweet lips gently on my parched desert fire and reveal this new beginning. A tender moment, eternity, my soul hears you whisper to me, stirring life. Reaching out we touch and Life begins anew.”
