A four-piece sculpture entitled ‘Your Next Breath’ which pays tribute to the compassion and resilience of healthcare workers during the pandemic. The artwork is believed to be the first in Scotland to be dedicated to NHS staff who worked through Covid-19 and depicts four life-size figures in scrubs experiencing a moment of reflection at the end of a shift on a Covid hospital ward. The memorial was initially modelled in clay before being made into resin form and then cast in bronze. Renowned sculptor and lecturer Kenny Hunter conceptualised his design after spending time with four healthcare workers who were posted on Covid wards during the pandemic.
