The figure is by artist Itzik Asher and depicts an anatomically correct family of a father, mother, child, and infant. The sculpture represents the journey of Russian and Ethiopian Jews from their homes to Israel.
"It's a figurative piece, somewhat abstract," said Richard Caster, who owns the shopping center and has other large sculptures peppering its front lawn. "It's natural and beautiful."
Jamie Garroway, PTA president at Morikami Park Elementary School, finds the sculpture distasteful and emailed parents Wednesday morning calling for them to file complaints with Palm Beach County Code Enforcement.
Terri Pavals, who teaches at the school's summer program states she has not heard any of the children talking about the piece.
"It's the parents who have been talking about it," she said. "The children don't really make an issue of it."
