The Sculpture at Nelson Mandela’s capture site outside Howick, KwaZulu-Natal. This was taken on Mandela day so you can see the flowers and messages left by people on that day.

The impressive sculpture by artist Marco Cianfanelli consists of 50 steel poles between 8 and 10 meters tall, arranged in a pattern that allows the viewer a flat image of the face of Nelson Mandela facing West, when approached from the foot path leading down towards it, exactly 35 meters away. From that position the laser-cut mild steel poles line up to create the illusion of a perfectly flat image.

The 50 steel columns represent the 50 years since his capture. They also portray the idea of many making a whole.
