“We love the industrial automotive style of this piece which really reflects our parent companies’ markets and our own involvement in high-tech, mechanical engineering. We are proud to have been a part of this project and really value the importance of the messaging it delivers. We're glad to be involved in creating a sculpture that will act as a beacon of hope for all those that pass through the hospital doors”
