The Peace Rider
Moti Mizrachi
1986
Disabled from childhood polio, Mizrachi creates sculptures that relate to the physical form of his subjects. His work, as in the Peace Rider, expresses his political position and vision for the future. This is one of several sculptures depicting a figure on a bike with the symbolic wings of peace.
