There is a time capsure buried beneath the sculpture. Alas, as is the case with too many public sculptures, the base is poorly finished. Here part of the reason is the 'access hatch' that was built into the base of the sculpture for the time capsule. A third figure ("tomorrow"?) stands on the balcony above these two.

text of the label affixed to the work:
