wHaT's Up WoRlD?
Unfortunatley, the sad truth in Ethiopia is that often most coversations regarding charity work often result in little more than false promises, there is something about this historic land that makes people promise things they simply don't, won't or can't do. Even more sad is that for many this passes as "charity". However, nearly two years ago the idea that resulted in the pictures you will see below began from one such conversation during the 4+ hour journey from Awassa to Addis Ababa. The 21-foot, steel sculpture is the first public art in Awassa and was created by Eirk Blome in collaboration with AYC over the course of the past 10 days. Erik, a professor at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, has numerours public figurative sculpture works across the US for more information on his work please visit
