Occupy Calgary - sculpture

December 9, eviction day for Occupy Calgary protesters. The tents were gone, but in their place was a statue entitled "Heart of the Beast."

Here is an excerpt from the media release that demonstrators were passing around:

"In the space where our community once stood, we leave a physical monument "The Heart of the Beast" to all the human suffering in the world, past and present, and to our desire to overcome. Embodied within this monument are the convictions and determination of all those who continue to seek and have sought out, throughout history, humanity's noble course. We humbly request that it be seen as a permanent reminder to all people who visit Olympic Plaza of all the voices throughout history that have been silenced."
