I came
across pictures of this sculpture installation memorial to Nelson Mandela this
week, and I just have to share it with you. It’s located at the place where he
was taken into custody by South African authorities in 1962.
I love
this entire concept by South African artist Marco Cianfanelli, because the sculpture comprises 50 laser-cut steel poles
that individually represent prison bars (and symbolize the 50th
anniversary of Mandela’s capture).
But as
you approach the site, at one point the columns “merge” into a flat portrait of
Mandela’s face.
It’s
really stunning—beautiful and meaningful; exactly how art enriches our lives.
Have a look at this site, and see what you think.
