The Sculpture?
This sculpture stands in the Kreuzsburg area of Berlin. I came across it on my drunken late-night walk home. I searched for an explain-o. I found a little placard detailing an impetus behind the amalgam as 'symbolic of those lives wasted living under the totalitarian rule of communism'. Guess that sums it up. It's unfortunate though from the perspective of the United States that we have demonized so much associated with communism as bad, that it must be noted that these versions of communism had more to do with control and dictatorship (of which being totalitarian) and than with useful tenants of socialism. Regardless...this image stands in my mind more or less symbolic of my Time in Europe coming to an end. I will be back. My life will go on, but oh boy I do miss her right now.
