Triumph of the Human Spirit

A black granite sculpture by Lorenzo Pace, installed at Manhattan's Foley Square, in the U.S. state of New York. The abstract monument is derived from the female antelope Chiwara forms of Bambaran art. The sculpture is sited near a rediscovered Colonial-era African Burial Ground, and its support structure alludes to the slave trade's Middle Passage.
