RE: Ebb and Flow: a sculpture on the theme of water conservation.
I love it but I do wonder why is chosen for a woman to water the tree.

I thought a woman would have a the neo-classical look I was aiming for. But it is true it could have been a man, a boy, a girl...
there is a age-old Norse myth where Norns feed the world tree - I commented with links separately with more detail. Women are the archetype of nourishers.
Oh yes feeding others is a BIG deal for us.
Maybe I should make it a blogpost on that theme of the Norns, which I had gathered resources for my comment (somewhere below this)- particularly since I have at least one artwork that directly relates to this. (Yggdrasil - I searched forever to find it since it was not on my computer).
