We are Family by Brighton Bere, Rose Quartz Stone, Unique, 42cm high, 30cm wide, 28cm deep, Body, Family, White, Pink, Family, Figurative, Love sculpture

This is a unique, hand-carved Shona sculpture made from soft-hued rose quartz stone, this abstract yet emotionally rich piece captures the essence of familial love and unity through simplified, flowing forms.

Three stylised figures stand closely together, their bodies forming a gentle circular embrace. The two taller figures, likely representing parents,press their faces together in a tender gesture of connection. Between them, a smaller figure gazes upward, completing the trio and adding a sense of depth and story. The curved lines and open centre create a visual rhythm that draws the viewer in and reinforces the theme of togetherness.

The rose quartz stone adds a deeper emotional layer. Its natural light pink tones symbolise warmth, compassion, and unconditional love, qualities often associated with family. Subtle variations in the stone’s texture catch the light, enhancing the sculpture’s calm and nurturing presence.

Furthermore, the sculpture’s simplicity invites universal interpretation. It speaks not just to the literal idea of a family, but to connection, support, and belonging. As with many Shona works, it blends modern abstraction with traditional symbolism, offering both visual beauty and emotional resonance.

We Are Family is ideal for an indoor setting, where its gentle form and delicate colour can be fully appreciated. It serves as a quiet yet powerful celebration of love, unity, and the human spirit.
