The challenge of this piece is to convey a sequence of life events — to make a sculpture which reflects a woman’s awareness over time — and, to focus once again on a redefining moment for humanity.

For me alone to suggest further meaning to the piece, other than that conveyed in its title and design, would be to diminish the value-added meaning from its potential audience, who will view it with the richness and meaning of their own life's deliberations.

It was only then that I realised that
life had been the rehearsal
