Following in His Footsteps – Bronze

“Following in His Footsteps” – Bronze Sculpture by Mackenzie Thorpe

This exquisite bronze sculpture captures a profound moment between two figures, an adult and a child, as they navigate the path of life. The adult, depicted with a robust, purposeful stride, guides the way forward, while the child with a playful demeanor eagerly follows, his balloon—a bright splash of red—bobbing in the air.

Crafted with Thorpe’s signature warmth in the bronze texture, the sculpture resonates with a tangible sense of care and nurturing. Mackenzie Thorpe reflects on this piece, saying, “This sculpture is one close to my heart; the warming bronze wraps around the figures and the red from the heart bounces out of the light, demanding your attention and voicing a message of the importance and wonder of love.” The vibrant red of the balloon does not just catch the eye—it speaks to the heart, emphasizing the sculpture’s message about the powerful, guiding force of love in our lives.

“Following in His Footsteps” not only showcases Thorpe’s artistic prowess but also serves as a metaphorical expression of the enduring impact of love and guidance. It is a piece that invites reflection and offers a profound visual narrative on the roles we play in each other’s lives, making it an invaluable addition to any collection.
