While driving to San Salvador we got to see for the first time Monument to Reconciliation which calls "Not to Return to the Past" which is the historic signing of the Peace Accords after 25 years after the feat.
The nude woman named "Civis" (meaning citizen which represents citizenship) with a height of 12 meters. On the right-hand finger there is a ring which represents the commitment to live in peace.
The left hand is pointing with the index finger to the man dressed as a soldier and a woman (statue), a guerrilla walking towards the future and to never again face in an armed conflict.
The sculpture of man and a woman walking forward with their arms raised, are throwing some pigeons into the air which represents the desire to live in peace. This statue is about 7 meters high and made out of bronze while the pigeons are made of aluminum.
The statue didn't look or feel that big, untill I got close to it just to see how big it is and I had to take the picture to demonstrate it. Well... I'm not that tall anyways (5 ft) but you can just imagine how big these statues are.
Hope you had a wonderful Saturday and wish you all a wonderful, happy weekend.
Love @joalvarez
