Michael Alfano’s “Peace Offering” is a full-size bench suitable for outdoor or indoor use. While the dove conveys the hope for peace, its tail transforms into a hawk, representing hostility. The dove’s wings become open hands, which might be ours, in an asking, a weighing, or an offering pose. Or they might belong to a larger force that welcomes two people to sit down and discuss their differences. Alfano’s large-scale figurative sculpture has been placed in permanent public collections throughout the United States, and he has received many commissions for sculptural portraits and memorials.
