๐ง Fun fact
"Walking Figures" consists of headless cast-iron sculptures created by Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz. These figures evoke a sense of aimless wandering, devoid of sight, creating a somber atmosphere that alludes to themes of time and loss. Another extensive collection of sculptures, also cast in the artist's studio, is titled "Agora" and serves as a permanent installation in Chicago's Grant Park.
The title "Agora" refers to the ancient Greek agora, a gathering place where the foundations of democracy were established. Reflecting democratic ideals of equality before the law, this inclusive way of life empowered every citizen with the right to vote.
