Description

The iron torsos of two abstracted figures, engaged in a tight embrace, emerge from a rectangular iron base. Two other identical sculptures were erected in 1989 in Belfast, Northern Ireland and Glasgow, Scotland. According to the artist, the works were meant to be “powerful symbol[s] of the way in which sectarianism can be overcome through solidarity.”
