    The sculpture can be seen from all sides and from afar. Depending on the weather, it seems to literally merge with the sky ❤️

      "Syrian Horse" is a five-meter-tall iron horse by the artist Mohannad Solaiman. It is made of 6 mm thick iron wire, which has acquired a red hue due to rust, and weighs 500 kg.

      One might think the sculpture represents freedom from its context, but for Mohannad, it means more. Its message, despite its name, is more universal. It touches on the human quest to realize dreams, to keep one's eyes on the horizon, and to find new paths when the old ones are destroyed. He explains why the horse was chosen as the motif:

      - The horse as a symbol has many meanings. It has been a friend of mankind throughout history and is associated with values such as authenticity, nobility, and power. (see: vastsverige.com/uddevalla/produkter/syriska-hasten/)
