sidebar"Allegorical Art" is a term James Muir uses to describe his work, which is filled with symbology to help create a heightened social, political and spiritual awareness. "The allegorical symbolism in my sculptures bridges the centuries of history to make contemporary statements about the human condition, in order to exemplify the highest qualities of man. My work speaks of Duty, Honor, Courage, Liberty and Justice, but above all, it speaks of Truth and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit".

| “’If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving Be not ashamed to say you loved the, Though you may or may not have always. Take what they have left And what they have taught you with their dying And keep it with your own. And in that time When men decide and feel safe to call war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind. Major Michael Davis O’Donnell 1 January 1970 Dak To, Vietnam” |
| Always inspired by the long lyrics ‘all gave some, but some gave all,’ along with the memories of friends and classmates and their sacrifices, on Memorial Day I was moved to create this sculpture as my own humble tribute honor courageous devotion to the ideal of human liberty. |
In keeping with his deep spiritual convictions and social consciousness, Muir's sculptural subjects have expanded to reflect the critical nature of the times in which we live. Yet, whether historical or contemporary, "the golden thread that ties it all together is still my never-ending quest for the essence of life— for Truth in its purest form."
