Close to Me Musical

Apart or together, always close to me.

Brand: Willow Tree® by DEMDACO
Part Number: 26441

Celebrate the unbreakable bond between mother and daughter with Close to Me Musical, an elegant Willow Tree® keepsake by acclaimed artist Susan Lordi. Combining graceful sculpture, gentle movement, and the timeless beauty of Claude Debussy's "Clair de Lune," this musical figurine beautifully expresses a love that remains constant—whether loved ones are side by side or miles apart.

Gracefully mounted on a hand-painted rotating base, the sculpture slowly turns as "Clair de Lune" fills the room with its peaceful melody. The gentle movement mirrors the continuous circle of unconditional love, while the tender embrace between mother and daughter reflects comfort, encouragement, and a lifelong connection that distance can never diminish.

The flowing dresses of both figures feature intertwined carved patterns, symbolizing lives forever connected. Susan Lordi intentionally sculpted the figures without detailed facial features, allowing every family to find their own story reflected in the graceful posture and heartfelt gesture. Whether celebrating a young child leaving for camp, a daughter heading to college, marriage, motherhood, or simply honoring the enduring relationship between parent and child, Close to Me Musical quietly communicates emotions that words often cannot express.

Susan Lordi shares the inspiration behind this beloved piece:

"The sentiment applies to any age… a child going away to camp, a teenager leaving for college… the message is the same. The intertwined images carved on the figures' dresses visually echo this sentiment. I understand this piece from both sides—having been a daughter, and having gone through the experience of raising a daughter to adulthood. I hope both mothers and daughters will connect to the emotions of this piece."

Originally hand-carved by Susan Lordi in her Kansas City studio, this full-scale sculpture is cast in hand-painted resin and displayed atop an elegant rotating musical base. Standing 7.5 inches tall, it becomes a treasured centerpiece in any home, serving as a lasting reminder that love remains close, no matter where life leads.

The classic melody "Clair de Lune" enhances the sculpture's emotional impact, making it especially meaningful during life's milestones, transitions, and celebrations.
