Going Home
Shahla Reynolds
On May 26th 2002 the I-40 Bridge was hit by a barge in Oklahoma. 14 people lost their lives, including a 3-year-old child. A 14-sided black granite pedestal was engraved with the names of the victims. The artist used the actual bridge girders and reshaped them to create the broken bridge. This piece holds the 56” bronze sculpture, which is only connected by its toes to the girder. This symbolizes the moment that life ended, and eternity began. The white dove brings hope and peace to the families and the survivors including 5 white columns represent the 5 survivors.

The artist enlarged the sculptures from an 18-inch model to the complete 9-foot tall work herself and directed the casting and installation of the work. The construction of this memorial started in September 1999, and on June 2000 Governor Frank Keating dedicated the memorial.
