A reminder not to accept violence in our society

Forced to their knees, bound, bent - but not broken: The outstretched arms and raised head convey resistance and dignity. Vadim Sidur's sculpture "The Shackled Man" refuses to make any reference to specific people, groups or historical events. With its highly simplified forms, the figure becomes a universal symbol that can be updated again and again.
