"...Circle of Peace represents; portraying children from all walks of life playing with and enjoying each other. The children form a circle, which represents the continuum of humanity. The clasped hands represent the interaction and cooperation, together with compassion and respect, which engenders humanity. Respect for each other’s uniqueness bridges the gap between any indifference.
I created a space in the circle and it is fascinating to watch children interact with the piece. Quickly, they notice the gap and instantly clasp the two outstretched hands and complete the circle. Each and every person is a vital element in this wonderful circle of life." Gary Lee Price
This "Circle of Peace" is a bronze sculpture of seven children playing together. The figures display dynamic movement, caught mid-action. The sculpture shows the children, clasping hands, forming in a circle. There is a gap between the children, allowing the viewer to step forward and complete the circle by interlocking their hands with the sculpture. Each child is intricately detailed, with textures that mimic the folds of clothing and the hairstyles. The sculpture conveys a sense of joy and playfulness that is often associated with childhood games. In addition, it is a representation of compassion, comradery, and respect for all humanity.
