Entitled "Coming and Going," this statue depicts a dying mother who has given birth to a child, symbolizing life and death, or the continuous ebb and flow of the creative, cosmic continuum. The Swiss artist, Erwin Winterhalder, creator of the famous "End of the Trail," exhibited at the 1915 Pan-Pacific Exposition, sculpted this piece.
