The sculpture that I decided to reflect upon is L’Offrande (The Offering) by Robert Wlerick. The sculpture is situated in a grassy meadow area in between the academic buildings of Stein and Beaven. The scale of the piece seems to be larger than life. The proportions of the sculpture are larger than an average sized woman and appears almost like an Amazon woman. The Offering is representational and it depicts a nude woman sitting on a step. It appears the sculpture is made out of bronze and has been

Tom Birkin felt very happy as a child who has the toy which he wanted very much since he had the chance to uncover such a significant painting.

You tackled some really thought-provoking themes in your poems‚ and I think were largely successful in doing so. I think if you just revisit some specific aspects of each piece‚ they could be even stronger.
