Pracz Odrzański, Dwarf statue near Piaskowy Bridge in Wrocław, Poland.
The Odra Washerman dwarf stands at the edge of Sand Island, depicted in a perpetual cycle of washing clothes in the river waters.
Installed on August 3, 2005, this bronze figure represents one of many dwarf statues placed throughout Wrocław as symbols of resistance against oppression.
The statue pays tribute to the historical relationship between Wrocław residents and the Odra River, where washing clothes was a common practice.
Located at coordinates 51°6'48"N 17°2'24"E, the statue features wheelchair accessibility and connects to pedestrian paths along the riverbank.
The dwarf's position near water level creates an optical illusion where it appears to interact directly with the flowing river beneath.
