A new sculpture is what you'll see when you step into the main lobby. Made my local sculptor Richard Arseneau, the 140-pound piece is a human torso that also resembles a human heart.
Called "The Heart Prevails", it's made of sandstone from the old Saint John Jail. Arseneau says it took him 300 hours and over 6 weeks to create it. He tells CHSJ news he donated the piece to the hospital because with it's heart/torso qualities, it just seemed to fit.
Arseneau says the piece shows how the heart or soul can prevail over adversity, with the right arm up in a victory pose.
