Sculpting The Promise

Photobucket

"The Promise" is a sculpture "in the making" that is located in front of the Bell Tower at Adriatica. When it is completed it will depict the dove that brought the olive leaf to Noah surrounded by a fountain and will be dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Katrina and Rita. 

I can't help thinking that it's a bit inappropriate to have a sculpture dedicated to hurricane victims resting in the middle of a fountain, even though the fountain is meant to represent God's promise that he would never allow the world to be destroyed by water again.

Also strange and a bit humorous is the disclaimer on the sign with a rendering of the finished sculpture that says, "Artists rendering may not accurately depict finished development. The information heron is subject to change at any time without notice." With all due respect to the artist(s), who are not mentioned on the sign, I'm guessing it means that if they mess it up they reserve the right to turn it into a birdbath.  Based on the progress made so far, I think it will look just like the picture. Is there a law that says they have to include a disclaimer that says it may not look exactly like the artists rendering? It is a rendering, after all.
