Oh, huh, it seems my interpretation differs both from yours and from that article's! I did think the statue was someone Gris had lost, but I thought the statue reforming at the end and being used to progress was a metaphor for reaching a point where your memories of someone can help you move forward, becoming a source of strength rather than a painful burden. I didn't read it as the person Gris had lost literally coming back.
'The statue is Gris herself' hadn't occurred to me, but that would actually make a lot of sense, particularly in relation to the ending.
