Embraced Loop is the beautiful name given to the AIDS Memorial sculpture which was unveiled in the Phoenix Park last month. Designed by artists Anaisa Franco and Michael R. DiCarlo, it was selected for having “universal appeal and for its creative use of the Red Ribbon associated with HIV/AIDS awareness.”
Speaking at its unveiling Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said, “This deeply moving memorial, ‘Embraced Loop’, will be situated here permanently in the People’s Gardens to show the respect of our nation, that we share in the sorrow of those lost or suffering, and to remember and celebrate the lives of those we have lost. It also reminds us that we still need to act, and the struggle is not over.”
