Hyack Square, New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada  - 
unveiled Oct. 4th, 2014
A Sculpture based on the famous photo, Wait for Me, Daddy, by 
Detloff, taken as Canadian Soldiers marched of to War., an image 
which became iconic for Canada, as well as nations abroad.  The 
Sculpture combines historical and contemporary elements to unite 
the historical Hyack Square and the Historic District of 
NewWestminster with the new Contemporary Anvil Centre across 
the way.  Lighting Element incorporated directly into the work 
changes hues over the evening hours.  The work which addresses  
all generations.  Contrary to other WW2 Monuments, this works 
highlights the difficulties felt by the families, faced with lengthy 
separation, and the not knowing of what the future holds...at the 
same time the work is one of hope.    With the stainless steel 
portions  executed through our Canadian Studio, and the bronze 
figurative portions being created through our studio in Europe, it 
seemed somewhat poetic that the soldiers could finally come 
home. --  Dam de Nogales -  2014
