Three photos with the most ‘likes’ will be awarded and the names of the winners will be announced at the Mexican National Day ceremony on September 15.

The exhibition "Reconstruction of Being" by prominent Mexican sculptor Jorge Marin was inaugurated in October 2016 at the Heydar Aliyev Center.

The name of the exhibition refers to the process of displaying the artist’s development and personal deconstruction of a self, and to the posterior reconstruction that happens when spectators are able to interact and live with the sculptures, embodied in the same space, as Jorge Marin’s bronzes entwine with the Heydar Aliyev Center’s architecture.

Ten art works called the interest of art lovers since its inauguration. The famois "Wings" installed in front of the majestic building of the Heydar Aliyev Center become a must-see sculpture while visiting the City of Winds.
