The original work is supported by the President of the French Republic, Mr François Hollande, who warmly accepted exposing her to the “Palais de L'Élysée”.

This sculpture has travelled more than 10,000 miles and has been shown in, Canada-Quebec, and Europe, supported by ministers, senators, deputies, as well as Mr Craig R. STAPLETON U.S. Ambassador in Paris and Mr. MATSUURA, General Director of UNESCO. This work was inaugurated in France at "La Defense", business hub of Paris.

This work has received praise and support from the public and, today, I would like it to be seen by many american people.

This is why I have decided, to offer this bronze sculpture to national September 11 Memorial and Museum.

It has now been 10 years that I started such a journey based on fraternity and I would be particularly happy should this piece of art together with its guest-books finally find its place in the United States of America.

Art is a vector for comprehension between people. It is also a means to create strong symbols where one can express deep feelings when words cannot do justice.

God bless the World

Yours sincerely
