Et Purus sculpture was initiated in 2011 as a personal gift to Swedish Professor Arne Ljungqvist on his 80th birthday, intended to honor his lifelong efforts and legacy for athletes' health, clean sports, and fair play. Eight internationally renowned sculptors from around the world were invited and artist Sassona Norton was chosen to create the sculpture. Ljungqvist, a 93-year-old prominent Swedish physician and former Olympic athlete, is internationally recognized for his 50 years of service within major sports organizations and entities (International Olympic Committee, World Anti-Doping Agency, World Athletics, UNESCO Anti-Doping), designing and establishing anti-doping frameworks and promoting fair play and integrity in sports. Two bronze sculptures have been produced and placed in public spaces in Monaco (Et Purus No. 1)and Stockholm (Et Purus No. 2), serving as symbolic representations of the values within Professor Ljungqvist's mission – For Pure Health and Clean Sports.
Concept and Symbolism
[edit]Et Purus depicts a hand with the index finger pointed upward, in the universal gesture "Number One." This gesture, recognized across cultures, sports, and time, represents victory, excellence, and leadership. The artist sculpted a seven-foot bronze hand thrusting into the sky. A ring on the raised index fingertip, where blood is typically drawn, serves as a metaphor for an open window into a clean inner body, meaning that the person is clean, pure, and uncontaminated. It emphasizes the idea that any true "Number One" must also be "pure," in line with the monument’s name, Et Purus (Latin for "And Clean").
Sculptures in the Series

Et Purus No. 2: The monument is installed on the Royal island Djurgården in central Stockholm, Sweden, and was unveiled by HM King Carl XVI Gustaf. (Swedish Sports Confederation News).[5][6]
