A brown statue standing tall while showing us the sufferings and hardships people went through in the past The brown statue reveals the sad and hard times people went through in the internment camp. During the Japanese internment of World War ll people were locked away based on their ethnicity and treated as slaves doing labor work. Artist Ruth Asawa was an American sculptor who gained interest in art during the Japanese internment. Her bronze sculpture demonstrates the sufferings of the workers in the Japanese internment camp.
