Sculpture Saturday

Sculpture Saturday is a challenge I started a few weeks ago after spotting it on another blog.  I love looking through my gallery and finding a sculpture that I took on one of my trips.  It is hosted by Mind over Memory.

Seven Men in a Boat

Yes, there’s actually seven men in this boat.  I took it a few years ago when we were in the UK visiting London.  It’s located in Spitalfields Market in East London.

An authentic wooden fishing boat containing seven seated human figures in steel, Lemos’ sculpture symbolises the universal struggle and suffering of millions of uprooted migrants around the world.  (Source:  Kalliopi Lemos Sculpture)

If you have a photo to share please and would like to take part link to Mind Over Memory who hosts this weekly event 😄.
