WW: Raphell Fountain Sculpture at Brookgreen Gardens

Woman Fountain Sculpture at Brookgreen Gardens


"As we give love, so shall we receive love.
As we give strength, so shall we receive strength."
- Raphell Sims Lakowitz

This beautiful fountain sculpture by Bruno Lucchesi memorializes Raphell Sims Lakowitz, from whose loving leadership flowed a new way of helping mental health patients. Stroll through more of my Brookgreen Gardens photos or better yet, visit South Carolina yourself!

    A really interesting sculpture in that its beauty is so lifelike rather than an attempt to stylize, or idealize.
