Over the past 30 years, the urban environment of Riga has been replenished with new monuments and sculptures. Some sculptures and art objects cause incomprehension and indifference among visitors to the city, but some objects are preferred to watch, take pictures with and even read poetry nearby. Many of these art objects were created with private funds.
Sometimes the vision of the sculptor does not coincide with the perception of the viewer. It has always been that way. This is a story about some of the newest monuments of Riga, about how they are understood and accepted by people of the corresponding period of time.
