Memorial to Women (Valley Forge)
This statue, near Washington's chapel in Valley Forge, memorializes women who died in childbirth. The viewer's normal perspective is from above, rendering the subject faceless and anonymous. I imagined that a view from below might offer a different glimpse of the subject. Regrettably, the face is still underexposed. Interestingly, the weepy trails of corrosion add feeling the artist may not have intended.
