It's situated in the figural part of Vigeland Park (Frognerparken, Oslo) and has been carved from one single granite block which was 14 m height.

The people are drawn towards heaven, not only characterised by sadness and despair, but also rapture and hope, next to a feeling of togetherness, carefully holding one another tight in this strange sense of salvation...
[official interpretation]
