designboom features an article on a proposed statue for zaabeel park in dubai.
"for their proposal visiondivision designed a statue based around al hakawati - a storyteller,
whose profession that goes way back in ancient arabic times and still is performed in the
arabic world today. the statue will be a home of stories; a children’s library in its base
and various spaces for performance and reading inside of the statue."
It's a TAD to much on the creepy side. With it's empty gaze and out stretched hand. Just a bit too much for me. In the proposal is also the fact that the statue can move! Which adds another aspect of creepiness. I giant naked man statue that can move also? It's a bit much. Although, the idea is cool. Espcially because it would not merely be a statue, but it would have floors functioning for things like restaurants, libraries, and more!
