Made of bronze, the sculpture stands at 22 feet tall and is illuminated at night, creating a striking and powerful presence in the park. “The Embrace” has become a popular destination for visitors to Boston Common, serving as a powerful symbol of love, unity, and the ongoing struggle for social justice.
