La Dechirure

A stone sculpture of a child lying curled up by Nathalie Pesselon located in the Parc de la Tête-d’Or in Lyons, France . Created in 1986, she said that after seeing the movie ‘The Killing Fields’ (French title: La Déchirure), about the war in Cambodia, she felt the need to transcribe all the suffering into stone. “This sculpture made by direct carving in stone came as a cry.”.
