Sharing of Sustenance

The sharing of sustenance, whether it be food, water, medicine, knowledge, technology... is an important human action.  This is not about letting others become dependent on the help offered, but rather to be empowered and to prosper on their own.  This is the symbolic interpretation of the carved images on the 'body' of the sculpture.  The 'body' is designed to be turned, revealing the Mother Figure handing nourishment to the children, teaching them how to grow the food, and they in turn, passing the knowledge along to the next generation.

Please note: I have yet to figure out how to have a video play on YouTube without having a bunch of unrelated videos show up afterwards. If anyone knows how to do that, please contact me! Thank you.
