Signage:

The artwork uses a diverse group of people, gathered in unity, with no sense of hierarchy to illustrate a social manifestation of human dignity. Every human being has a responsibility to treat every other human being in a dignified and humane manner. Human dignity is therefore a universal human duty and a universal human responsibility. The intricate and thought-provoking scene, makes up a symbolic narrative of possibility for a resilient community.
