The Torch of Friendship
A Gift from the People and Friends of Mexico
Symbol that stands for the unity and friendship that exists between Mexico, the United States and Canada
When designing the sculpture, I thought of creating a symbol of light and I came up with the idea of a torch that stands tall to evoke friendship and unity
I envisioned two tall columns rising and joining at the top in a playful dance to form the torch
From all angles, it reflects the different facets of the relationship between our countries: sometimes festive, at times complex, at times very strong, but at the end, intregrated [sic] and harmonic
