Description
"The figures of Liberty and Sacrifice are used in an allegorical fashion to portray mankind's universal striving for freedom. The beauty of the female serves as a time-honored symbol of the principles of Liberty. In a swirl of human emotions and ideals, the figure of Liberty holds aloft the most important iconographic element of this sculpture - the olive branch, while with her other hand, she takes up the sword offered by the reluctant figure of Sacrifice. In this singualr poignant gesture it is understood there is no true liberty, whether personal or political, without the burden of sacrifice. This work is dedicated to the defense of liberty."
