Bakel has its own liberation monument. Fifty years after
liberation, I was asked to design this piece
commemorating the occasion. I did so in full realisation of
the fact that freedom is a relative concept. I opted for three
ascending figures holding up the ideal of freedom,
supporters of democratic principles and envoys of
universal values. Tormented sentinels bearing the creature
we call society. Drawing inspiration from their
indomitability, this trinity is intended as a beacon in Bakel. |
