| Detail, Quilt of Origins Sculpture, Centennial Olympic Park, Atlanta, Georgia © Doug Hickok All Rights Reserved To honor the ancient origins of the Olympic Games, a stylized sculpture of a Greek Olympian was created for Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park. His arm shadow falls on one of the quilt motifs which recur throughout Centennial Park. The quilt was used as a symbol of harmony and union during the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. During the opening ceremonies the participating nations gathered in "patches" to form a large quilt. |
