Hyde Park, sculpture

This sandstone sculpture in Hyde Park by Gerard Havekes depicts Water, Fire and Earth. The inscription on a plaque nearby reads as follows: The labours and beauty of pioneering mankind are depicted by three figures Water, Fire and Earth and a flanking font.
Water - A fisherman looking to the seas and new horizons.
Fire - A woman depicting womanhood and intuition protecting the fire of initiative and progress.
Earth - A farmer depicting the pioneering efforts upon which the country has developed.
