the creator, Francesco Pirelli says of the statue:
"I conceived the monument to be cast in bronze, and, stylistically, in a postmodern vein. It represents a man who, at the center of the globe, joins two meridians; while the remaining meridians are held aloft by doves, a peace symbol in themselves. Moreover, the doves are symbolically meant to represent the cultural vitality of the people who, with the man, construct a new world, under the banner of dialogue and mutual respect."
however, with the month of pride and the pride celebrations culminating tomorrow (sunday), the statue is lost amidst tents of pride activities. speaking of pride activities, i better go get ready for downtown if i want to take some photos.
playing high contrast black and white for this month.
