That statue captures the teen years, I think. That’s exactly what happened to me at thirteen.

might as well. sculptor eran shakhine said it’s dedicated “to young people who live in a contemporary city while keeping their human values, in a fast-changing world of technology.”

That’s a lovely one and reminds me of the one I saw in NY. The one that is under so many controversies too.
Great entry!

the one you saw could be from the same sculptor eran shakine who uses art to make a political statement.
