"The chapel is centered around a powerful sculpture of The Suffering Christ above the altar by British artist Steven Sykes. It features a dramatically oversized head of the crucified Redeemer crowned with a halo of brass shapes simulating cannon shells and irregular rays of cast aluminum suggesting rays of glory."
