photo friday: "symbol"

This is the controversial sculpture meant to represent the city where I reside, Rockford, Illinois. I say "controversial," because the name of it is Symbol, and yet no one seems able to agree on what the meaning of the "symbol" is -- leading, of course, to a debate about whether it's truly a "symbol" in the first place, etc. So there you have it: "Symbol" by Alexander Liberman.
