You can best discover this small sculpture by exploring the neighborhood on foot during the week. The tiny size of the figure means you need to look carefully to spot all the details.
This figure was installed on Valentine's Day, which hints at a connection to love and human connection. The symbolic timing makes this sculpture special among all the other bronze figures in the city.
