The Flying Frenchman, Bronze sculpture at Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Tsim Sha Tsui, China.
The bronze sculpture measures 4.8 meters in height and 8.4 meters in length, depicting a figure protected by a substantial wing formation.
The Cartier Foundation presented this sculpture to Hong Kong in 1992, initially naming it The Freedom Fighter before changing its title to The Flying Frenchman.
French sculptor César Baldaccini designed this monumental piece, incorporating elements of flight and protection in his artistic expression.
Visitors can find the sculpture on the waterfront near the Clock Tower, making it accessible through the MTR station at Tsim Sha Tsui.
The sculpture features a machine gun nozzle integrated into the wing structure, creating a connection between warfare and protective elements.
