From the grand staircase of the San Diego Convention Center one has an incredible view of the San Diego Bay. On a landing part of the way up the stairs is a 21 foot high sculpture by Leonardo Nierman, "Flama De La Amistad" or "Flame of Friendship". The sculpture was a gift to San Diego from the government of Mexico in 2000. The sculpture's polished stainless steel creates a unique dynamic based on the light of the day, or night.
This is a flame, but it also an embrace. It is my hope for mankind that one day we will feel like brothers, act like brothers and love like brothers, instead of like adversaries. - Leonardo Nierman
