“Never Feel Alone”

Democracy and unity, a beautiful reminder of this sculpture to meditate upon when feeling alone and hopeless -- We are never alone and hope is very much alive, showing itself at the most tiniest sliver of love, accompanied by strength and perseverance. Love this piece!

“Bringing Africa closer”

Very well made and reflects the beauty of untamed Africa. Only suggestion is to include a better provision to hang it.
