In the quaint village of Carmel-by-the-Sea, nestled along the California coastline, there lived a man named Luca, renowned throughout the region as the finest sculptor.

Luca’s artistry was not merely a skill but an extension of his heart, a vessel through which he could express the depths of his emotions. When his father, Antonio, passed away, Luca found solace and purpose in channeling his grief into a unique creation that would honor his father’s memory.

In his rustic studio overlooking the ocean, Luca carefully selected a large, weathered piece of redwood.
