Description:
Located in Victoria Park, this sculpture and its surrounding path represents the creative outcome of a collaborative community art process inviting bereaved parents to express the love felt for children lost from our sight but not from our hearts. The white marble sculpture is surrounded by 57 flagstones each inscribed with a word or image contributed by a project participant.
The sculpture’s striking white marble was quarried from the northeast coast of Vancouver Island which has been finely polished to invite touch and create a glow in the sunlight that it is almost translucent.
