Families torn apart, houses burnt to dust,
Parents cuffed away, children left astray,
Leaders imprisoned, pastors forbidden,
Farmers banned to work. O! Puppies freed to bark.
So many girls raped, so many boys slapped,

(By Than Shwe, at the time of his death)
Dear Peoples of Burma!
Forgive me for my deeds
Atrocious to the extreme

All of you.
Forgive me for hating you
My lack of knowledge
And education
My shortcomings
My bad judgement
My ignorance
Made me ashamed
Of myself.
Aung San Suu Kyi was a thorn […]

The Lady is an inspiration and a real challenge to the artist who attempts to capture all the dimensions of this multi-faceted and courageous woman. All the hours of concentration required to create such a sculpture put me in the presence of very good company.
