This sculpture is the original model for the National Life monument,  a monumental sculpture depicting a mother and a world-shaped womb with the child at its center. Its organic design uses drapery forms to draw the viewer’s attention inward, toward a mirrored steel center that reflects both the surrounding world and those who stand before it. In this way, the work places the viewer within the sculpture itself, symbolizing a shared connection to the source of life.

​

Monumental installations of Life can be found in Rome, at San Marcello al Corso, and in Washington, D.C., on the campus of Theological College.
