Open Arms – Hug, Sandstone sculpture in Petřkovice, Czech Republic.
The Open Arms - Hug sculpture stands at Hlučínská street, representing human connection through its curved sandstone form and geometrical shapes.
Created by artist Lenka Klodová in 2006, the sculpture emerged during a period of increased focus on public art installations in Czech urban spaces.
