"This body of work transforms the bond between parent and child into hand-sculpted porcelain portraits. It began as a way to honor my connection with my children and has become a practice of capturing presence, tenderness, and care through form.
Each sculpture begins with loving observation and simple, everyday gestures that reveal the depth of that bond. Though intimate in scale, their emotional presence is expansive, reflecting both the cultural and personal dimensions of motherhood.
Collectors are invited to participate as collaborators. Whether celebrating parenthood, marking a milestone, or creating a remembrance, each sculpture becomes a lasting expression of love."These intimate, hand-sculpted porcelain portraits capture the timeless bond between mother and child in a tender embrace. Inspired by Michelangelo’s Pietà and Fay Ray’s own experience of motherhood, each piece reflects the warmth and depth of that connection.
