Sun Child No.3
Sun Child is a gigantic sculpture of a child with a height of 6.2meters, which has a “Small Sun” — a symbol of hope — in its right hand and a helmet in its left. While the child’s face is covered with scars and band-aids, the sculpture symbolizes that a future without radiation has come back in people’s hands. Although the child wears radiation protection clothing, the counter on its chest reads “0”, which is indicative such as of the future. Sun Child, created as a monument for Yanobe’s hometown of Ibaraki (Osaka), stands gazing out towards the East. The “ sun” in its right hand continues Yanobe’s tradition of using the sun as a motif, but features a new design.
