Nelson Mandela Sculpture

From an email received this morning from TS Low.


This is what I regard as true art of mankind.

 Nelson Mandela Sculpture
 
It consists of 50 ten metre high laser cut steel plates set into the landscape,
representing the 50 year anniversary of when and where Nelson Mandela
was captured and arrested, on August 6, 1962 prior to his 27 years of                          
incarceration. 
 
Standing at a particular point the columns come into focus and the image of
Nelson Mandela can be seen.

The sculptor is Marco Cianfanelli, of Johannesburg.
