Keeping the Peace?

While Admiral Porter’s Peace Monument (“Tragic Figures”) seems artistically confusing, it has become absolutely apropos after the Capitol insurrection. All three faces of the figures have faded. The political bifurcation in the country is now so exacerbated, there is no more dove. Porter’s monument has aged perfectly as a symbol of American peace.
