Information on a proposed three piece sculpture to remember those who came home
This is computer generated image of a proposed three piece sculpture to remember those from the Island of Ireland who served in World War 1 and who either returned home to the Island of Ireland or to elsewhere. There is no such sculpture on the Island of Ireland. Uniquely, the sculptures includes a Nurse to remember Women who served in World War. There is a dog to remember the millions of animals who also served in WW1. The sculptures also seek to remember those who were killed in WW1 and all who served.
The nurse hopes her injured soldier patient will go home. The injured soldier is holding a letter from home which were so important for morale of those who served. The little dog is waiting for the injured soldier to come home and play fetch again with ball. It will be made of corten steel which is reflective in the light and will be a place of commemoration and remembrance.
It will be called Hope/Dochas and will be lifesize plus 10%. It is hoped the three piece sculpture will be located in a Dublin city centre Park. Appropriate funding will be sought.
