“More importantly, Serra’s work presents sorrow in a dignified way. It does not go into details; it does not analyse any particular cause of suffering. Instead, it presents sadness as a grand and ubiquitous emotion. In effect, it says, ‘When you feel sad, you are participating in a venerable experience, to which I, this monument, am dedicated.

Do not ignore or throw away your grief.“ Alain de Botton, John Armstron, Art as Therapy
