this is a sculpture by former Rutgers' Professor George Segal. It was done for Kent State as a memorial, but rejected because it was "too dark". The biblical moment portrayed is that of Abraham poised to slay his only son Isaac. Isaac looks up at Abraham with such unassuming innocence as Abraham stares back at him with a look of determination and perhaps madness. Such a profound anti-war statement and yet it was rejected by Kent State, and is now at Princeton University. I'm totally planning on going and checking it out. Anyone up for a roadtrip? (haha)
