Last October 13th my sculpture ‘No Return’ was officially revealed by Mayor Ina Sjerps in Harlingen who gave a beautiful speech about the subject of the sculpture.
Harlingen is a place where people come and go over the years, and a lot of people who need shelter have had found it in Harlingen. The city Harlingen was there for given the sculpture by mrs. Hans Boonstra.
The sculpture ’No Return’ represents people all over the world who are in danger and have to leave country and everything they consider home behind, and seek shelter somewhere else in the world. These people need our compassion and with my work ’No Return’ I hope to achieve that.
