'The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist'

 
Trip into London to see the Gauguin Exhibition, and wandered back around a Trafalgar Square totally taken up with the Chinese New Year railings and stage.
 
This is the current Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square by Michael Rakowitz.
 
“For the Fourth Plinth, Rakowitz has recreated the Lamassu. This winged bull and protective deity guarded the entrance to Nergal Gate of Nineveh (near modern day Mosul) from c700 BC until it was destroyed by Daesh in 2015.
The reconstructions is made from recycled packaging from Middle Eastern foodstuffs. The Lamassu is made from 10,500 empty Iraqi date syrup cans. This represents a once-renowned industry now decimated by war.
Rebuilding the Lamassu in Trafalgar Square means it can continue to guard the people who live, visit and work in London. It is the twelfth work to appear on the Fourth Plinth since the programme started, and will be there until March 2020.”
