Unlike Michelangelo, whose marble slab 
 contains an entangled entirety of a crystalline vision of love, 
    life, 
        and loss, 
the desolation of souls,
    the rending of divinity, 
the forlorn sacrifice,
only seen by him 
&nbsp;&nbsp; until 
the sweaty glistening stone,
     hewn and chiseled,
          sculpted and slashed, 
  for tedious eons
    painstakingly marked by time 
  and life force sacrificed,
revealed its secret gift,

I attempt to recreate the Pietà
      by adding on material to the medium, 

rather than by carving it away.
