The Church of the Good Shepherd, to mark the centenary of its opening, commissioned Eduardo Chillida to make a piece that was a sign of current times. The artist, after making the piece, donated it to the church, also authorising its sale should the church need the money. It was unveiled on 18th July 1997.
