Reconciliation, Bronze sculpture at Coventry Cathedral, United Kingdom.
The sculpture shows two figures kneeling and embracing each other, representing human connection through a life-sized bronze composition at the cathedral ruins.
Created by Josefina de Vasconcellos in 1977, the sculpture drew inspiration from a woman who walked across Europe searching for her husband after World War II.
The artwork exists in multiple locations worldwide, including Berlin, Belfast, and Hiroshima, serving as an international symbol of connection between nations.
Visitors can find the sculpture in the cathedral ruins section, where natural light enhances the details of the bronze figures throughout different times of day.
The sculpture underwent a name change from Reunion to Reconciliation at the request of the Peace Studies Department of Bradford University in 1994.
