Statue of Responsibility

Viktor Frankl survived the Nazi camps and came away convinced that liberty was only half the story. Freedom, he wrote, means little unless matched by responsibility — and he proposed a Statue of Responsibility on the western coast to answer the Statue of Liberty in the east. The full monument, hundreds of feet of clasped hands, is still only planned. But the sculptor's smaller version stands here, in American Fork's memorial garden among the graves: two arms gripped wrist to wrist, one reaching down to raise the other up. A large idea, waiting at human scale.
