Sculptor Fatemeh Emdadian, whose statue was among those taken in a series of thefts of bronze statues across the city of Tehran, is making a new copy of her stolen sculpture.
“I have no news of any leads or other promising developments in the case, but I believe the theft made people more sensitive and curious about the sculptures situated across the city,” she told the Persian service of MNA.
“I have kept the mold of the sculpture and I am busy these days making another copy of it. The sculpture was named “Life”, she said.
She noted that the serial thefts were surely a big shock for sculptors but it also had a positive impact on people, making them more aware of their surroundings.
“I took a trip to a town nearby some days ago and noticed how every individual is now concerned about the artworks installed in their town. This is a very good sign,” she said.
