I was reading a book last summer called The Secret Life of Bees by Sue
Monk Kidd. It is a fantastic book; you should read it if you haven't already! In it, one of the main characters
began to build a wailing wall, a place in which she would leave all her pain. I immediately felt a connection with this
idea and I haven't been able to let go of it. I feel this need to make one...and a need to build it for all mothers
who have lost a child, regardless of how or how old their child was.
The Wailing Wall was inspired by my biggest fear as a mother...losing
one of my children.
My hope as an artist and mother was to create a Wailing Wall for other mothers and families who have had this
fear realized. I hope this wall will be a place to leave their prayers and pain, physically and mentally.
