The original piece was completed by Michelangelo Buonarroti, all the way back in 1499. La Pieta happens to be the only work Michelangelo ever put his signature on. Now, the sculpture resides in St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City. Michelangelo's breathtaking work is portraying Jesus after his crucification, laid across Mother Mary's lap.
Breathtaking is the very reason I felt compelled to recreate this masterpiece. Even though the sculpture is beautiful alone, the meaning behind it spoke louder. This piece reflects my beliefs, and is a very dominant portion of my life that affects me day by day.
As a result, I brought home a silver metal after the competition. I have never been so proud of my work.
