The Capt. James Ormond Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution is supporting metal worker and artist David Tanner with a donation in support of his sculpture, “Gift of Freedom.”
The sculpture will be unveiled at the upcoming Ormond Beach Memorial Day Remembrance Service at The Casements, to be held on May 27, according to a press release.
"What sets 'Gift of Freedom' apart is not only its profound symbolism but also its composition," the press release states. "Tanner's creative genius shines as he transforms recycled scrap metal, including a discarded propane tank, a scuba tank, pipe, and an old truck rotor, into a masterpiece that will undoubtedly captivate. Inspired by the eternal flame and the timeless gesture of leaving flowers at gravesites, Tanner ingeniously merged these symbols into a singular work of art. His vision encapsulates both the solemnity of remembrance and the enduring spirit of hope for future generations."
