Generation to Generation by Karoly Veress Our first permanent sculpture was installed in August of '99, "Generation to Generation" by Karoly Veress, a Hungarian-born sculptor who now resides in Ontario, CANADA.The work was comissioned and donated by Mrs. Isadora Katz, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Harris and Mr. and Mrs. Zeivel Harris in honor of their parents, Ann and Ben Harris. The bronze sculpture is an abstract form that has a plant-like feel with sections that appear to be growing. It stands over 12 feet tall is mounted in the outdoor Conifer Garden. In the words of the artist, Karoly Veress, "This sculpture reflects the vertical accumulation of the contributions of generations, striving for the highest, thereby building our culture. "The four components grow upward, and support and embrace one another. To me this is a metaphor of the living culture itself. A culture is flourishing and it is growing as long as we contribute to it, adding and changing the existing environment. "It is important to contribute with great respect for our past and great responsibility for the future generations. Behind our contribution is the drive of self--manifestation. If we contribute, we can keep our culture alive, and are able to create continuity. But only here and now, at this spot and in this moment are we the closest to eternity. And please let us realize that every day in our life is an opportunity to mark our spot and make our fingerprint eternal."
