Cool art work that I saw while driving down the street in LA. It is the Freedom Sculpture. I like public art and I like to see all the things LA had to offer. Go check it out and see the wonderment.

The Freedom Sculpture in Los Angeles is a monumental gift that symbolizes the humanitarian ideals of freedom, cultural diversity, and inclusiveness. Inspired by Cyrus the Great of Persia, the sculpture stands as a reminder of the universally shared values that make America great. It was unveiled on July 4th, 2017, and is a permanent fixture in the heart of Los Angeles.
Designed by renowned artist and architect Cecil Balmond, the sculpture is a modern-day interpretation of the Cyrus Cylinder, the first declaration of human rights. Made of two finely crafted stainless steel cylinders, the sculpture appears to be in constant motion, symbolizing the timeless and universal message of the Cyrus Cylinder. Illuminated by LED lights at night, the sculpture sparkles with natural sunlight during the day, creating a unique and ever-changing experience for viewers.

The sculpture is an elegant reminder of an Empire the West has chosen to ignore. It pays homage to Cyrus the Great. Arguably one of the most visionary leaders of all times and his human rights...
