She is reminiscent of the women waiting by the sea for the fishermen to return. She carries the boat-like tray on her head,

waiting for the gifts or the losses from the sea that day. She belongs to my Harvest series.

Her form is like an amphora. She is also inspired by the stories of old Italy, those gracious women in their long skirts

hitched up as they laboured in the fields or on the seashore, carrying great loads on their heads.
