Beautiful sculpture by immensely popular artist Josep Klibanksy.

This sculpture stands in front of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the tallest building in the world. For me, this work is about seizing or not seizing opportunities. That can be in love - having the flowers, being ready for the party, but not taking the step. Do you wait and see or are you someone who goes for it? Do you keep working for the same boss or do you take the plunge and start for yourself? But of course, everyone is allowed to have their own interpretation. For example: even if you are in your nakedness, no matter how underhanded, stay true to yourself, to who you are and have fun in life.’
