Description

Sculpture of a man and a woman, standing close to each other.
On the back side the name HILDESHEIM is interwoven with the names of the eight twin towns: North Somerset, El Minia, Angoulême, Padang, Weston super Mare, Halle, Gelendzhik, and Pavia.

The sculpture was made for the "Kunstmeile 2018" (Art Mile 2018), and was during September 2018 placed at the end of the mile in the Osterstraße.
