Shoreline Blvd; 78401 American Bank Center, Exterior Cost: $50,000 Year: 2003 Commission: $25,000 Arts & Cultural Commission Donation: $25,000 Artist Donation Symbolic of feminine gifts, the sculpture depicts a woman standing proudly as she offers an egg, a lotus blossom, and a fish in each of her left hands and a ring, a bowl, and a book in each of her right hands. The items held are symbolic and represent food for the mind, body and soul. The sculpture is both an image of the feminine and a call for peace. The life-scaled work also portrays the many roles that women universally have to play. “Why can’t we find a path to peace when it is right in front of our eyes?” is written in several languages on the ribbons flowing down the figure.
