In a more traditional bas-relief format, Alicia offers a portable and personal version of The Builder with her signature on the reverse of the medallion. This traditional format of the medallion restricts the artist in scale and dimension, but offers unlimited design and expressive possibilities.

With a nod to early American sculptor Augustus Saint Gaudens (1848-1907), Alicia has surrounded The Builder with rays of light that could represent either the setting or rising sun. With this gesture, Alicia is expressing the uncertainty surrounding the fate of the subject, and her admiration for Saint Gaudens whose relief work has moved and inspired her in content, design, and technique.
