This piece is based upon that group of very close friends who have through the years always looked out for each other, be it Male or Female.
I have used various materials and curves to identify each buddy as its own but also part of a very tight knit group
It became quite an emotional piece because, strange as it may seem, I can identify certain characters (of past and present), within each piece.
I truly hope you see the same.
