Snowden and Assange Are Bronze Gods in Berlin

Sculptor David Dormino says Dead Poets Society inspired him to make statues of Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, and Chelsea Manning.

Statues are typically erected in honor of individuals who have significantly contributed to humanity—whether these statues are cast in gold or bronze, they serve as public reminders of heroic deeds, lofty ideals, or both.


Sometimes they commemorate heroes, often soldiers, who have sacrificed themselves for a higher cause. Sometimes, they are artists, thinkers, or scientists whose contribution to humanity is widely known.
