Moodboard: Sculptor Henry Moore (d1986) created for University of Chicago, the "Nuclear Energy" Twelve Foot sculpture (1966). Which was placed on the grounds of the demolished building where physicist Enrico Fermi and his colleagues on December 2nd 1942, set off the first controlled nuclear chain reaction. Which lead to the development of nuclear weapons, that were later used in 1945 on Japanese cities. Moore's 1966 sculpture is meant to evoke a human skull, mushroom cloud and cathedral.
