Sharing the Fruit of the Tree of Life

Sculpture, bronze, 1999

The artist wrote, "[Along with] Lehi's description of this great vision and metaphor for life, I've always been most impressed by his instant reaction to share the incredibly brilliant and delicious fruit with his family. Nephi tells us that his father saw a symbol for the 'love of God' and that it is the most desirable thing there is! What could be greater or more powerful than unconditional, eternal love. Little wonder Lehi wanted to share that with those he loved most!"
