Toward imagination of a friend

Nowadays loneliness is one of the main problems of our society. The fact is that in our era, human relationships are broken and people feel lonelier than before. From social point of view, this issue has been of importance to urban managers. Therefore, friendship and empathy has become more and more important in urban space designing. The hustle and bustle of life and paying too much attention to work has taken people away from the main concepts of life. Toward imagination of a friend is an urban element with this concept in mind. The statue consists of two large chairs which a waiting person is sitting on one of them. This abstract and conceptual urban art is designed by "Ziba Pashang", an Iranian artist and sculptor, and made of iron built in 4 meters high and located on Shahid Fakuri Boulevard of Mashhad.
