Description:
The memorial consists of two abstract sculptures, "Historical Circle" and "Peregrine Section," that appear to call and answer to each other across a short distance. "Historical Circle" is installed on a circular brick courtyard that is surrounded by a low hedge, and "Peregrine Section" is installed on the lawn just beyond the hedge. The design of "Historical Circle" suggests a sundial or compass that seems to point toward "Peregrine Section," which appears to wonder across the lawn beyond the courtyard.
