A Moving Statute of Love
The statues, designed and built by Tamara Studio in 2007, represent the main characters in one of the region’s most celebrated love stories.
The large-scale piece features a man and a woman made of metal slats. At first, the statues face each other. After a while, they begin moving closer and closer to one another. They continue moving forward until they have a brief moment of contact, but this concept of closeness is short lived, because they don’t stop when they meet. Instead, they continue on their paths until they move right through each other.
The tale, Ali and Nino, tells the story of Ali, a Muslim boy, and Nino, a Georgian princess. When they meet, the two immediately fall in love, but they’re eventually torn apart by Soviet forces. The novel was written by an author who used the pen name Kurban Said. To this day, no one knows the author’s true identity. (Source)
