What I can see

The 2m bronze complex symbolizes the Greek woman. She is presented with three roles; the first as a mother, who lovingly holds her baby and her breast emphasizes motherhood, the second as an intellectual with a book looking into the future, and the third as a fighter with a banner, a strict look and impetuosity.

What I can't see

The sculpture was created by Mary Papakonstantinou.
