An older woman, her face full of love and wisdom, reaches out to a young woman who meets her hands and supports the older woman as she stands. Okonkwo comments, “The young woman's act of lifting the older woman symbolizes the physical, emotional, and spiritual support we offer one another.” The joining hands are circular. Both figures lift; both figures anticipate being lifted.
“True service brings profound, lasting upliftment to both the giver and receiver.”
—Maxwell Okonkwo
