Artist Phil Simpson states:
“....this piece is a celebration of life and being on earth. It incorporates the flags and sun. It recalls the times of the Romans reminiscent of a chariot with banners. The artwork beckons to be in a parade. The work was based on the idea that Ecclesiastes is supposed to be the only chapter in the Bible that is based on reason instead of faith. Thinking about war changes things.”
