This 1998 monument and fountain depicts a headless woman standing and holding her head over her left arm and secured by her right hand. The bronze piece is by Belgian artist Nicolas Alquin and is dedicated in memory of the victims of terrorism. Water drips from the back of the piece into a small rectangular pool at the base. It was commissioned by the group S.O.S. Attentats which studies the sociological effects of terrorism.
