You could ask the sculptor, who's still alive (check the article. In fact it talks about the reasons behind the sculpture.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebDandelion Posted December 11, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) I checked the article..but how boring would it be to only hear what they say to the media and the people. I ponder the significance it might have for others...for all the lost and forgotten souls... For those that never returned. For although each sculptor has their reasons for.making a sculpture it means something different to everyone. THAT is what I meant...

thatgrimlife Posted December 13, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 13, 2017 It's not exactly hidden when it's that big, is it? Also, 104 degrees is unbearable? 41 is unbearable? This reporter has never lived in Arizona or Arkansas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it is a small dirt road that takes u to that lovely statue. In South Africa the one desert my aunt stayed in became up to 42 degrees( before global warming). Luckily it was a dry heat, so u scorched yes but no humidity to contend with. Now in Durban we had a mere 34 degrees with humidity.. I cried a little... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
