A Tale of Two Birds

Standing before these two monuments, we encounter both the painful legacy of Colombia’s past and the hopeful message of renewal. The story of Medellin, like the doves, is one of transformation—a city moving beyond a violent history toward peace and possibility. This invites us to reconsider how we judge a place: not only by where it’s been, but where it’s going. The statues invite us not to stand in judgment of where the city has been, but where it’s going.
