Leaping, yeah. And I thought that was what the sculpture was. A flying person
could memoralize but also make a statement about freedom and destiny and all
types of things. But this is not that at all. It almost shows the defeat of
that decisions-- they took theit own destiny, but look how it ended. It seems
a poor choice of timing, not just for the horror it depicts, but for the
message it has.
