Reflection - The Monument to Canadian Aid Workers
This monument recognizes the humanitarian contributions of the individual as well as the collective. The humanity of seeing yourself in others is the overall theme of this commission. “Reflection” on the spiritual level represents the understanding that each human consciousness is subjective, located in the self, while recognizing that we are alone, reflecting on the others. The ability to identify ourselves in others is the base of humanity; the human spirit grows from the awareness of this first loss and allows us to begin the search to find ourselves on a much larger and engaged level.
