The Violata Pax (Wonded Peace) Dove symbolizes beauty and peace, sorrow and tragedy. Where you stand determines what you see.

The sculpture was originally commissioned as part of a post-earthquake renovation project for the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi in Italy, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The dove is a symbol of peace and life everlasting. In Violata Pax, the dove also illustrates the shattering of peace on September 11, 2001.

Bronze on an iron base, 2006
