Rico Lebrun, assisted by James Pinto and William Ptaszynski. Inspired by the biblical tale of Genesis. Noah, after the flood, stands in the center, shielding a child with his cloak. Around him are twisted, sinewy bodies depicting other scenarios, such as Adam and Eve departing paradise, Cain and Abel, Sodom and Gomorrah, and Job. Sponsored and Commissioned by Mr. and Mrs. Donald Winston. Photo © Robin Dunitz.
