The grounds of a hospital is the perfect site for a piece in which, the artist explains, people find many levels of meaning: “Some see it as an angel with its wings spread open, others as a tree of life, while some view it as hands reaching out in hope. But everyone recognizes that this sculpture is about the healing power of beauty, of hope and of creation and, above all, about ‘The Spirit of Life.’”
