Truly majestic in scale, tender and embracing, mysterious and enigmatic, “Blossom” rises elegantly on a column of bronze. Each figure of the Three Graces represents a different personality, an individual archetype of feminine grace and beauty—not merely in the superficial sense, but at the deepest level. Drawn from Greek Mythology, where they represent all that is bright and uplifting, the Three Graces have inspired the greatest artists of western civilization for centuries, and have made an enduring impression on our cultural experience. “Blossom” rests on the suggestion of an angel’s wing; her gesture draws a circle through the air, ending in the delicate flourish of her fingertips. It is a gesture that suggests a nurturing, a sheltering embrace.
