A winged angel standing on left leg on top of a pole, playing on a pipe. As Skanska, the developers of Thomas More Square, are Swedish, it seemed appropriate to acquire a work by one of Sweden's greatest sculptors, Carl Milles. He was a master of movement and held deep spiritual beliefs about man's relationship with the universe. This sculpture is a metaphor for the joyous link between man and God.
