Olympic Lightning Figure

This sculpture is a tribute to the sharing of cultures during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. From top to bottom you see: the moon (representing the creator) sending lightening snakes to earth to bestow to humankind (at the bottom) the gifts of knowledge and tools to flourish in our rich and diverse territories.
