Description

The sculpture has a clear and accessible form, designed to be easy to understand for both children and adults. With its forward-looking expression, it conveys hope, vitality and North Norwegian optimism. Through its connection to Hiroshima, the sculpture reminds us of the importance of peace - not only as a memory of the past, but as a responsibility for the future. The childlike element in the motif reinforces this message: peace is about safety, play, life and the opportunity to grow up in a better world.
