Thread: Nelson Mandela sculpture.

Im sure many of you are familiar with this somewhat new sculpture, i just find that the artist really made something different with a signification.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Nelson Mandela’s capture by the apartheid police, artist Marco Cianfanelli designed a beautiful sculpture. The installation, which gorgeously displays Mandela’s profile, resides 90km South of Durban, surrounded by a midlands landscape of South Africa, and is made up of 50 anchored steel columns each between 6.5 and 9 meters high. The columns symbolize the prison bars that incarcerated Mandela for 27 years of his life sentence before he went on to become the president of South Africa.
