Some people only see two winding steel pipes, while others immediately detect the deeper meaning that was intended by artist Jeroen Henneman when he designed The Kiss. The idea came to him as early as 1972 during a trip through Mexico, but his simple, yet powerful design was only erected on this public space at the Bijlmerdreef 10 years later in 1982. It's also one of the few statues that actually looks best when Dutch skies are completely grey, meaning most days.
