An Artistic Tribute


My next post from 10 years ago was a look at the Cancer Survivors Memorial near downtown Phoenix.  It was created by artist Victor Salmones and installed here in this tiny pocket park in 1999.  It symbolizes the the cancer patients in the back entering the maze of treatment and coming out the front as survivors.  There are several of these memorials in cities around the country sponsored by Richard and Annette Bloch.

What a fine tribute. Cancer is a disease that has effected us all one way or another.

Such an inspirational sculpture Sharon. Looks like it was a bit warmer for this up to date shot. Enjoy the California cool ☺

What an unusual sculpture. It's interesting to see the comparison in lighting from the cloudy day and the sunny day.
