‘Cry for Justice – The Scream’ in Durham, England
Outside the Bill Bryson Library at Durham University stands a sculpture by English artist Fenwick Lawson: Cry for Justice – the Scream. The sculpture was inspired by the famous Vietnam War photograph Napalm Girl and Edvard Munch’s The Scream. Lawson captures their sense of angst and despair, departing from the more popular art styles of great men and inspirational figures typically seen on university campuses. The sculpture’s placement outside the Bill Bryson Library at one of the foremost universities in the United Kingdom gives it a sense of greater depth, moving beyond aesthetic value by challenging the viewer and prompting reflection.
