STATUE OF RECONCILIATION
The statue is by Josefina de Vasconcellos who made it at the age of 90. It was donated to Coventry Cathedral (England) by Richard Branson on the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II (1995).
"Essential to the work of reconciliation is a nonjudgmental presence. We are not sent to the world to judge, to condemn, to evaluate, to classify, or to label. When we walk around as if we have to make up our mind about people and tell them what is wrong with them and how they should change, we will only create more division."

What a magnificent piece of art. And, given that it was created by an artist at 90 reinforces the notion that inspiration is ageless.
