Artwork Inspiration for Ashridge

AbrahamO draws inspiration from 1940 events, highlighting the transition between life and death. It honours women as the origin of life and the struggle of many to save lives from the ravages of war. Despite being in a period of war where many saw their loved ones leaving with no return and the sorrow of the Golden Valley, there was the strength to bring a new life to the world. Ashridge House was a hospital and 2,700 new lives were brought into the world at the House, when a maternity unit was opened during the second world war.

AbrahamO dignifies and celebrates the lost, the lifesavers, and those who brought new life into the world.
