Bill Ritchie was commissioned to create a sculpture for a park on family land donated in memory of Peter Barry Duff, who drowned in 1984 at the age of 17.

Ritchie worked in collaboration with fabricator Kenny Power of Tors Cove on the sculpture and its installation. The aluminum sculpture consists of a seated figure and a flying eagle, depicting the moment that the eagle is released from his hands. The artist was inspired by a story told by the family about Peter taking care of an injured eagle before releasing it back into the wild.
