On the south bank of the Singapore River near the historic Cavenagh Bridge is a gravity-defying sculpture of five boys diving off the quay called "First Generation."

The people of Lithuania call this ghastly cloaked figure the Black Ghost. The creepy bronze statue clings to the pier while emerging from the water — looking ready to drag unsuspecting pedestrians into the underworld. However, as the much less-scary legend goes, this figure appeared to a castle guard named Hans von Heidi in 1595 to tell him the city's supplies of grain and timber were insufficient. Miraculously, von Heidi passed the message on, and the city set about increasing its stores of both, saving it from several years of hunger and shortage that followed.

With 50 bars (akin to jail bars) representing the 50th anniversary of Nelson Mandela's arrest, this shape shifting monument at the site of his capture in Howick, South Africa, is multi-dimensional and incredibly symbolic. The artist, Marco Cianfanelli, suggests the sculpture also brings about "the idea of many making the whole; of solidarity. It points to an irony as the political act of Mandela's incarceration cemented his status as an icon of struggle." The monument was unveiled on August 5, 2012.
