Can you feel the force?

Berkeley Square, (Nightingale not shown).
Force of Nature II, by Lorenzo Quinn, the same bloke wot did this!
He says:
"We live with a false sense of security, only to be awakened by Mother Nature's fury, almost as if she needs to remind us of her presence and our responsibility towards her child (the Earth). After having seen the ravaged coast of Thailand and the hurricane that affected the Southern States, I decided to create a sculpture dedicated to Mother Nature. This would be reminiscent of the early statues made as peace offerings to the gods in the hope of quenching their anger. In essence, people are not very different today from the people who lived thousands of years ago. We still devote ourselves to symbols in order to escape our destiny."
It's a striking sculpture, & though I might not have expressed it in the same way, I can't argue with him. Can you?
