Crane sculpture symbolizes victims of radiation, violence

WASHINGTON, United States - This 2-meter-high sculpture of a crane symbolizing the victims of radiation, militarism and violence was unveiled Aug. 8 at the Josephine Butler Community Center in Washington to commemorate the 55th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. The ''Peace Crane'' is made with objects that are taken for granted, including electric cord, a lampshade, chicken wire and wooden spoons, just like the people who were taken for granted when the bomb was dropped, according to the work's creator, Marjorie Kouns.
