Leiría, 21.02.26.. Storm Kristin toppled the sculptures in the Almuinha Grande garden in Leiria, titled “Futuro” (Future). Created by Ricardo Romero, the piece consists of two human figures – a child and a woman – and represents hope, recovery, and “the need to move forward into the future.”
“Storm Kristin caused severe damage to artist Ricardo Romero’s studio in Leiria, along with several public artworks. His practice is now paused as recovery begins. A solidarity GoFundMe appeal, link below, is underway to help rebuild the studio and restore working conditions. Any support or sharing helps.”
