The Pillar of Shame is a political issue in HK right from the start and don't pretend it is not. The Twin Towers is obviously not a political issue until after their destruction.
To put the record straight, it is misleading to say that the pillar was destroyed. It was just removed from a place where it stood without permission for the past 24 years at the campus of the University of HK. It was not destroyed but dismantled and stored in a container awaiting collection by its maker. I have never said that it should be banned but just that do it some place else and let's focus on papermodelling on this forum. So don't accuse me for starting this political!! So, enough is enough and no more of this endless argument, ah, rabbit hole, as Niki puts it. |

Butelczynski - this actually would be an interesting paper model given the fact there 3 others as well.
While I knew about the Hongkong one (which is the famous one as it commemorates those who died at Tiananmen Square), I did not realise that there were others - one in Rome (the deaths caused worldwide by hunger), one in Mexico City (which marks the December 1997 massacre of members of the Las Abejas civil society group and one in Belém, Brazil (which commemorates the victims of the 1996 Eldorado dos Carajás massacre). The sculptures are by Danish artist Jens Galschiřt and were cast in bronze, copper or concrete - thus the different colours and the fact that at some times some of the memorials were wrapped or painted differently lends itself to several different models once the one has been designed. They were also displayed in a number of different countries. The varients could be produced via repaints. From left to right... Pics 1 and 2 - Brazil Pic 3 - Mexico Pic 4 - Denmark Pic 5 - Hong Kong
