The first group consists of an immigrant family of five fragmented figures, caught as if in motion, standing amidst a series of flagpoles. Each gestures upward as if beseeching a new beginning. The second group consists of an elderly woman sitting on a bench with hands crossed in her lap, and a young girl with proper right hand over the women's proper left hand. The elderly woman represents the hardship of the past; the young girl represents the hopefulness of the future.
