Nelson Mandela sculpture...

Nelson Mandela sculpture...  My mom sent me a photo of this sculpture, which I had never seen before.  It's located at the site where he was arrested in 1963, in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.  The artist is Marco Cianfanelli, a South African himself.  He's made a number of other interesting sculptures as well.

The Mandela sculpture is made from 50 steel rods, laser-cut so that the image of Mandela is visible only from one particular direction.  This site has some images that show more detail about how the sculpture was made...
