Ali and Nino, Man and Woman, the Statue of Love sculpture in Georgia

I shot this timelapse of Georgian artist Tamar Kvesitadze's extraordinary sculpture 'Man and Woman' by the Black Sea in Batumi, Georgia.

It is based on a story about a Muslim Azerbaijani boy called Ali and a Christian Georgian princess called Nino who fall in love, but are separated by the invasion of Soviet Russia.

In real time the sculpture, which weighs seven tonnes and it 26 foot tall, takes about 10 minutes to complete a full rotation.

The sculpture comes and goes but the two lovers are never together :"( such a stunning video ! Thanks a lot

We have the ability to create things of astounding beauty and life. Yet we have such a strong tendency to destroy and take life.
Somewhere in between, we have the potential to be so much more than what we are

This is a beautiful sculpture. But they say that these two the Muslim man and Christian woman fell in love, but couldn’t get married because of their religion. That’s not true. Muslim men are allowed to marry Christian women.
