The figures evoke an evolution of thought or memory. Each dove tells a silent story of love, loss, and memories that linger. The mother, though encircled by these ethereal birds, embodies a love that is eternal, a sorrow that quietly endures. Here, the artwork becomes a shared space of remembering, of honoring those we have lost and the parts of them that remain with us always. In "The Memory," you'll see what might first appear as a beautiful chaos of shapes and shadows. But take a step, find the right angle, and a powerful image comes to life: a mother, surrounded by gentle doves, each representing a child no longer in her arms but forever in her heart. "The Memory" isn’t just a piece of art; it's a gentle whisper of shared experiences, inviting each of us to reflect on our own stories of love, loss, and the memories that bind us together. As you view, may you find a moment of peace, a touch of understanding, and a shared connection through the universal journey of memory and love. “Fly, gentle dove, and leave your mourning. We don’t pretend to know your story; rest in peace and rise in glory” — Paul Willis Read more ↓ ## The Grief This sculpture was commissioned by Mario D’Agostino as a tribute to the unimaginable grief and sorrow carried by his wife, Mary, each and every day. Over the years, their family has endured the devastating loss of three children: Julie (1992–2015) Kevin (1986–2020) Michael (1984–2021) Their loss is felt deeply by those who continue to carry their memory: Elizabeth, who lost her twin Kevin; Natalie, who lost her twin Julie; and Carly. Michael is also lovingly remembered by his fiancée, Anika, and their so to be, Arlo. ## You might also like [ ![Jonty Hurwitz & Yifat Davidoff, Queen Ethereum, Aluminium And Stainless Steel, 2021](https://fgxztnkqkimoutnckwrs.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/edition-images/edition-a7fe80a0-da18-4853-be17-4e9cb24fc39d-thumb-1779669507158.webp) Queen Ethereum Aluminium And Stainless Steel Edition of Originals ](/edition/queen-ethereum) [ ![Jonty Hurwitz & Yifat Davidoff, The Alchemical Leap, Stainless Steel, 2023](https://fgxztnkqkimoutnckwrs.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/edition-images/edition-1d9b5758-aab2-4949-97fb-12cd1ee094ad-thumb-1779669455163.webp) The Alchemical Leap Stainless Steel Edition of Originals ](/edition/the-alchemical-leap) [ ![Jonty Hurwitz & Yifat Davidoff, Colour In My Life, Photo-cure Polymer And Stainless Steel, 2023](https://fgxztnkqkimoutnckwrs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/edition-images/edition-865310c0-edb7-4471-9aca-5333ef006fee-compressed-1779503790648.jpg?width=1024&quality=80&resize=contain) Colour In My Life Photo-cure Polymer And Stainless Steel Edition of Originals ](/edition/colour-in-my-life) [View all editions](/) ## Contact for information, pricing and availability Re: The Memory First Name \* Last Name \* Email \* Phone Message \* Notification preferencesI want to be notified when new pieces are created I want to be notified when the NFT collections are ready Submit [](https://www.facebook.com/ontyhurwitzart)[](https://www.instagram.com/jontyhurwitzart/)[](https://wa.me/447469152288)
