                                                    In Love Life, Budi Santoso presents a tender and evocative sculpture of a figure—interpretable as a woman or a mother—carrying a long-haired child in her arms. Behind them, a larger hand emerges, cradling both the mother and child from behind. This oversized hand, greater than life, suggests a presence beyond the physical—perhaps spiritual, divine, or symbolic of fate and protection. The work speaks to the purity and strength of a mother's love: a love that nurtures, protects, and is, in turn, uplifted by something larger. The sculpture becomes a reflection on unconditional love and the unseen forces that support and sustain it.
