This statue shows a child with epilepsy whose hand is being held by a helper (the mother or father) and who is being supported as it makes its first attempts at walking. The difference in size between the two people in the statue signalises on the one hand the sick child's need for help and protection, and on the other hand the active help and the safety which the helper provides.

I chose this sculpture as it emphasizes how each person who has epilepsy is in deep need for extra help and support. No matter how old the patient is, he/she will still want to feel safe and supported. They need the assurance that they are normal and can definitely live independently. They need to feel that they are accepted from the society around. As shown in that statue, parents, family, close friends are usually the first people who take this initiative in helping, supporting and assuring those patients with epilepsy that they are normal and that they are always accepted. During their week moments when they fall down, they will be looking around for those hands that will comfort them and help them get up and resume their lives normally.
