field trip #5

  

 I chose this well-know sculpture called "Non-Violence.” It also known as "The Knotted Gun." This is a pro-peace sculpture by Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd, designed in late 1980. It was given to the UN by the government of Luxembourg in 1988. The sculpture was place in front of UN building and it was surrounded with national flags of many countries. The artist seems tell the whole world that drop out of all weapons and stop violence to keep our world in peace. This sculpture also can be considered as an UN’s agreement that they promise to all the countries under theirs national flags that they will do their best to keep peaceful world.  The sculpture really touched my heart, because recently there are many poor accidents happened and many people died by shooting guns or other violence. The sculpture is right on the place. This sculpture already became famous to many visitors of UN and became the best photo spot. Because UN area makes this sculpture be more possible than any other place. Many people will take weapon things seriously while they are in serious place as UN. If this sculpture was located in different type of place, it wouldn’t be considered seriously. I will just take a look and will not go to think about what is the idea of this sculpture trying to communicate with us. I was located in perfect place to hook us. Hope peaceful world could come soon.
