Funds for the sculpture were provided by John Pappajohn in memory of his wife Mary, who died in Naples last March.
A new sculpture at the Pappajohn Sculpture Park is making its mark.
The 12-foot-high bronze sculpture, entitled „Even Stones Have Eyes,“ was created by Pakistani American artist Huma Bhabha. In a statement, the sculpture park’s overseer the Des Moines Art Center said Bhabha positioned a female figure with a missing arm and peg leg „as a monumental giant.“
„The somewhat unsettling monsters in Bhabha’s work speak to the concept of displacement and disillusionment derived from the region of her birth where she has stated that because of war, ‚cities can look like architectural digs,'“ a representative for the art center said.
