My eyes were drawn to the hands: I would really dissuade any mother from 
putting so much pressure on the head(s).
Missed opportunity: even if, like Gonneke says, the artist had a different 
intention, he should have been aware of the importance of doing a number of 
things right.
Artists usually feel that they are there to influence society and express 
important life aspects.
If that goes for this artist, then he would have done 
breastfeeding/babies/mothers/societe a great service by paying a little more 
attention here and there.
The statue would not have needed THAT big a change to make a better, much 
more positive impression.
Like Gonneke, I do like many of the lines and the fact that it's twins.

Kindly,

Marianne Vanderveen IBCLC, Netherlands

The stiff posture, lack of eye contact and disiterested facial expression 
all worry me, as well.
