The artist said that "The sculpture to me was like a silent song." Piece was removed by owners and donated to City of Surrey in 1988, where it was supposed to go in front of the justice centre. However, it was disassembled and stored. It was sold for scrap metal in 1996. It was reported to have been an accident by city staff but the union said the city manager ordered it sold. Surrey issued a public apology to the artist. (K. Sinoski, Province, Mar 4, 1996)
