    Hiking

    Sculpture by the artist Elisabeth Wade (1940-2019), strongly inspired by the world of fairy tales. The inscription "Once upon a time" emerges from the book, the beginning of many fairy tales.
    The sculpture focuses on several themes, such as Puss in Boots, a three-faced female figure as a symbol of transformation and immortality, and The Man with the Wolf Mask as a witness to world events.
    The work was completed in 1992.
