Getting to my feet, Christoph juave me a heart attack! I didn’t see you down there"

"I’et the final piece free fro so I can position them correctly tomorrow It’s made from marble and incredibly tall, so…"

Christoph smiled, and came to help me In just a fewdispensed of As the sculpture was revealed, we both stepped back, and my hand flew to my mouth at the view

This piece was flawless

For h double-sided white angel, this side’s hands reaching out like she was pleading She held a pile of black ashes in her pal at noas the broken side of the angel

Her wings were fraying and clipped and her beautiful face was contorted in pain… no, agony Her body was curled inward, alht What should be a beautiful dress was ripped and torn, sullied with patches of dirt Her hair was stringy and li haphazardly to the middle of her back, and the desolate look in her unnaturally wide eyes… was haunting

It shattered h this sculpture had a soul, projecting every ely carved each curve and expression on the angel’s face I could feel the wracking pain, the inner torture of the broken angel running through my blood

My heart beat faster and faster with every passingI stood there, held in this statue’s thrall

Shaking hed at the extent this sculpture ripped et a little too emotional with Elpidio’s work at times--"
