@aleks.london.diary: Meet the new woman taking over Trafalgar Square 💙⁣ ⁣ Lady in Blue has just been unveiled on London’s famous Fourth Plinth, and she’s impossible to miss.⁣ ⁣ Created by New York-based artist Tschabalala Self, the 10ft bronze sculpture depicts a young Black woman confidently striding forward in a vibrant blue dress and heels.⁣ ⁣ But she isn’t a statue of a famous historical figure. Self designed her as a contemporary “everywoman” — an everyday Londoner representing the city’s energy, diversity and ambition.⁣ ⁣ She is the 16th commission for Trafalgar Square’s Fourth Plinth, one of the world’s most famous platforms for contemporary public art.⁣ ⁣ And the meaning behind her is just as striking as the colour: she isn’t there to commemorate a historical figure — she represents a woman moving forward with ambition, purpose and optimism.⁣ ⁣ She’ll remain on the Fourth Plinth until 2028, so if you’re heading through Trafalgar Square, look up. 💙 #london #londongirl #blacklivesmatter #londonlove #travelblogger
