Description of work

The work consists of two stainless steel pillars that recreate the Vancouver 2010 Olympic medals' artwork in 3-D form. The taller pillar features the profile of a raven and the second pillar features an orca.

The Olympic Truce was first adopted at the inaugural Olympic Games in 776 BC and was brought back by the International Olympic Committee in the 1990's with the approval of the United Nations. The Olympic Truce seeks to bring an end to conflict around the world.
