Now, here is an exciting intsallation, which "celebrates the ongoing courage and dedication of NHS Staff and all key workers during the pandemic and captures the extraordinary experiences that have connected us through these most challenging of times"
I came across it on the last night's BBc local television news, and resolved that I would zip into town today and take a look.
And it fulfilled my expecations reinforcing.
We will all have family and friends who work in the NHS, and in particular in the frontline during Covid, and who have worked so hard.
Leaving me just to qoute from the official site, which also gives details of how to apply for tickets to view the "51".
"Gratitude is a spectacular public art installation, created by global public art producers Wild in Art, which honours and pays tribute to the ongoing courage and dedication of NHS Staff and all key workers during the pandemic and captures the extraordinary experiences that have connected us through these most challenging of times.
Free to visit, the exhibition has been curated in partnership with creative ambassador Dame Zandra Rhodes and consists of 51 sculptures, all designed by professional artists and designers from across the UK.
Enclosed by mirrors on two sides, Gratitude creates infinite reflections of the stunning artwork highlighting the endless dedication of all key workers, and enables visitors to become part of an immersive experience and reflecting the contributions of the entire population.
You can visit Gratitude at St Peter's Square, Manchester from 03-12 September 2021 before it moves on to visit Edinburgh and London.
In autumn 2021, the sculptures will be auctioned with substantial proceeds donated to NHS Charities Together (Registered Charity Number 1186569), which supports the NHS, including its hospitals, ambulance services, community and mental healthcare providers and vital partnerships".
