The NHS are the backbone of the UK. Life flows through the NHS.
At six metres in height, a tower image of the body’s central element, Core Femme represents the strength of the NHS, the core through which life’s energy flows.
Bone coloured torsos represent stacked vertebrae in the soaring spinal column.
In the language of physiology, the backbone’s topmost disc is names after Atlas, primordial bearer of the heavens and a symbol of endurance in ancient Greek mythology. The sculpture is similarly mighty, yet graceful: a powerful metaphor for human strength of character, wisdom and spiritual growth.
“Without the backbone of the NHS, we have nothing”
A potent parallel between Core Femme and the NHS both drawing their power from within and radiating outwards as well as upwards.

Thank you, NHS.
