Bronze casting of a spiral staircase with woman holding(Submitted on October 17, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)baby and her older son standing on the the upper part of the staircase holding a toy plane. The Sculptor envisaged the Mother clutching her child while encouraging the son to come back down the stairs to a safer place. The boy is lost in the excitment of war. The staircase, shrinking as it rises, symbolises diminishing options for the family group and also depicts the way bombs spiral as they fall. Each stair has jagged edges symbolising the effects of glass shards. Finally, the aeroplane model held by the boy is symbolic as an instrument of destruction or as a Cross of Remembrance to all those who died in the Blitz.
