人種差別をせず、ルッキズムで人を判断せず、優しいものたちが互いによりそい、ただ少しの間だけ平和のシンボルである鳩の翼に人の子が守られている像。鳩の羽毛に包まれ邪念のない心静かな人物像を目指した。 紀元前５世紀ごろのクラシック期のギリシャ彫刻は感情をこらえた無表情（パトス）をしていて、感情を表に出さない男性的な形の方が美しいとされていたらしい。４世紀ごろ、ヘレニズム期に、ミロのヴィーナスやラオコーン像の様に、情感豊かな表現になったそうだ。この作品では派手な感情表現はしていないが、女の子は柔らかくあたたかなほほえみを浮かべ、瞳は喜びや哀しみを表すような感情の多面性を表すのに、オッドアイ（左右で異なる瞳の色）の着色を行った。 素焼きの像にレリーフを入れることで、像の背景にある物語の連想を広げ、色をつけて雲母と砥の粉をかけ、磨いて質感の違いをだし、空気感を出している。
A statue, depicting gentle beings that do not discriminate or judge on the basis of race or looks, lean on one another, and a human child is protected for just a little while by the wings of doves, the symbol of peace. I aimed to make a statue of a calm person, with no wicked thoughts, wrapped in dove feathers. Greek sculpture in the classical period around the fifth century BCE considered masculine forms that remained expressionless by suppressing, or not demonstrating, their emotions (pathos), to look beautiful, it appears. In the Hellenist period around the fourth century, the expressions became rich with emotion, like the Venus de Milo or the statue of Laocoön. This work does not express emotions gaudily; the girl has a soft, warm smile, and her eyes (left and right) have different colors, to represent the multifaceted nature of emotions, as if to show joy and sadness. By adding relief to the unglazed pottery, I have broadened the associations of the tale behind the statue, and I have added color, applied mica and polishing powder, and polished them to produce different textures and create a sense of space.
