A sculptural object of art presents the historical city-center of Székelyudvarhely on the scale 1:500, placed on the Townhall square, corner with Kossuth Lajos street, unveiled on 15th of october 2019 in celebration of the International White cane day. The bronze relief measuring 133x108 cm across, lying on the more-than-ton stone pedestal figures more than 600 buildings, covering an area of nearly 30 hectares of urban fabric.

Hajdó Ernő, director of the Association of Hungarian Blind People in Romania, explores the clay model in the workshop of the sculptor Berze Imre

Silicone negative sample ready for being transported to the foundry. There it gives birth to the wax-positive, that buried inside the sand casting preserves the place for the molten bronze

The two segments of the more-than-one-ton stone pedestal, carved by stone-mason dr. Jakab Gyula were mounted in place using both muscle-power and machine

The blind were largely represented at the unveiling ceremony kept on International White cane day

The local coordinator of the project, architect Várday Zsolt gives a brief overview of the workflow before the artwork is revealed
