The installation, called The REACH, featured two stylized people reaching toward one another. It was intended to celebrate how the community is strong together, even though individually we are apart thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>But today, the HFA discovered that the statues had been taken apart. While three halves remain in the park, a fourth piece is missing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Either it has been taken by someone or is at the bottom of the river,&#8221; reads a post on the HFA Facebook page. &#8220;We hope that it has been taken, and that whoever is responsible will return it&#8230; <span class=\"text_exposed_show\">It\u2019s heart breaking that someone has tampered with them.
