I found a little more info on Flickr about the creator. "The photo was taken by the creator of the sculpture, Darlene Racicot of Timmons, Ontario. The sculpture was made as a dedication to the firefighters and police who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks. It was inspired by a photograph of a firefighter sitting, exhausted as this one does. The photo was digitally altered to show 2 Angels, one leaning on each side, comforting the firefighter.
The sculpture was entered in the South Porcupine Ice Sculpture contest in Feb 2002. It is 10ft tall, 15ft long, and took 250 hours to complete. It won the contest.
In the Fireman's hands is a connector assembly to a self-contained breathing apparatus. It is attached to a backpack of oxygen tanks, and feeds regulated air to the face mask, which is hanging behind his left leg. " http://www.flickr.com/photos/ilively/462911867/
