Heart and Doves by Dawson List, Ice Dragon Ice, New Orleans, LA
This version of the popular piece changes the positions of the doves and uses the center of the heart as a spot for flowers.

The pose of the doves is a little more dynamic and a thinner slab of ice can be used (but you may need to add a base for stability). When I worked in Memphis with the CNC machine, I had planned to add this design to the CNC library as I think it would work well. The sculpture is also very lightweight and easy to handle with the center removed.
