“The Ring” consists of two semi-circles, between which there is a free space metaphorically dedicated to a man who becomes a part of the sculpture and connects it into one organism.

The sculpture was selected during the sculpture festival “2018 Chengdu International Sister Cities Sculpture Creation and Exhibition”. From around 20 sculptures prepared by artists from Chengdu's partner cities, it was the first one to be realized and became the flagship project of the entire festival. Made entirely of steel, it weighs 9.2 tons and measures 8m in height.

The ceremonial unveiling took place on December 21, 2018, at which the city authorities of Chengdu were present together with the Consul General of the Republic of Poland in Chengdu, Ms. Katarzyna Wilkowiecka.

The sculpture – “the Ring”by Jarosław Borek from the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź is a gift of Polish-Chinese friendship and symbolizes the coexistence and cooperation between Łódź and Chengdu - sister cities.
