Echo

myminifactory

Onslow Ford excelled at crafting figures of slender adolescent girls, typically exuding a subtle melancholy charm through their delicate features. Echo embodies the fleeting nature of sound, existing as temporarily as its reflection. As the echo disappears, she too will perish, relinquishing her borrowed existence. The poem's essence is conveyed through Echo's fragile stance and uncertain movements, her insubstantial body swaying precariously, and her distant, preoccupied gaze - all hallmarks of a dying figure. The sculptor's focus lies not with the narrative of Echo and Narcissus, but rather with the beauty inherent in mortality.
