Friends of the Riverfront is pleased to announce that the "Unkillable Human" sculpture is back where it belongs on the Three Rivers Heritage Trail, after it was stolen and damaged a few weeks ago. The statue has been completely restored and reinstalled.
The seven foot tall iron sculpture, create by artist Frederick Franck, represents a significant installation on this segment of the Three Rivers Heritage Trail. Beside the sculpture, a granite tablet reveals the sculptor's inspiration for the piece, "came about on my return from Hiroshima, where burned into a concrete wall I saw the shadow of the fellow human evaporated the moment the Bomb struck. Through the empty negative - mere flames of steel - one sees the Human rising like a Phoenix from its ashes.
