No balcony. No famous love story. No crowd lining up for a photograph. Just an elegant woman quietly occupying her corner, half-hidden behind bamboo and years of weather. The stains running down the stone, the chipped surfaces and the plants growing around her make her feel less like something displayed and more like something discovered. In a city overflowing with celebrated statues and monuments, sometimes the one nobody came looking for is the one worth stopping for.
