Come as you are!

Come as you are!
Come as you are! Kom som du är! By Astrid Göransson. Celebrating 100 years of democracy in Sweden. The five people carried on the plate by two modern day women are Kerstin Hesselgren, Elisabeth Tamm, Nelly Thüring, Bertha Wellin and Agda Östlund. The first female members of Parliament. They became MPs in January 1922. The two women are walking on a path to the future, and towards the Parliament building. Very symbolic it is.

I uploaded a black and white photo to flickr where you can see that they are "walking" down a path that is part of the sculpture. I will go back for more photos as I really liked this artwork.
