Is that a hair clip? Right here in front of us, in the heart of Brisbane, stands the Sisters Statue. This bronze masterpiece, sculpted by Ante Dabro in 1985, captures a simple yet profound moment of everyday life. Two sisters, forever frozen in time. The younger one patiently waits as the older, kneeling before her, ties her shoelace. Notice the details: the girls’ matching ponytails held by blue barrettes, the delicate folds of their clothing. This lifelike depiction is a testament to Dabro’s skill and his mastery of realism. It’s easy to forget you’re looking at a sculpture and not a real-life scene unfolding before your eyes. The Sisters Statue is a touching reminder of the universal bonds of family, reminding us of shared moments of childhood.
