The
sculpture "The Walking Man" was created by the world-famous Armenian
sculptor Arto Chakmakchyan (1933-2019) back in 2006. It was installed at the
beginning of Northern Avenue in Yerevan on September 21, 2021, on the 30th
anniversary of Armenia's independence.
It
is made of bronze, its height is 3.8 m. The man is bowed, thoughtful, as if the
weight of the whole world is on his shoulders, walking detached from the
ground.
According
to the author, the sculpture symbolizes today's Armenia. The step already taken
is our movement, the continuation of the pedestal (empty) is the potential of
that movement, the next step to be taken is space.
