The sculpture asks us to think about what is
the right size now and in the future of a
family in PNG? For many reasons, in the
past big families were necessary or
unavoidable. Child mortality, lack of
contraception, or just the need for many
hands to work the land. But our life is
changing and smaller families can work in
our interest.
