Notes

Artist Statement: A father carries his daughter on his shoulders, lifting her up so she can reach to the fruit above her head. Practicing loving and succoring each other often begins in families. In the Book of Mormon, white fruit symbolizes the love of God. This loving father helps his daughter come close to God’s love. “Parents are entrusted with the opportunity to lift their children to the love of God.”
