A statue of Steve Jobs has been unveiled in Belgrade. The statue has been created by famed Serbian sculptor Dragan Radenovic and was the result of a competition covering more than 10,000 submitted works. The statue will be placed at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino.

The statue unveiled is a maquette, a sculpture substantially smaller than the final version for demonstration purposes. It includes the latin letter A, an older Serbian cyrillic letter similar to E from the Miroslav Gospel, and a cyrillic letter Ш at the bottom serving as an anchor for the statue.

I wanted to present some of the recognizable Serbian motifs such as a letter Ш which is the last letter of the Serbian alphabet and Apple rather liked the idea. I’ve also placed the Latin letter A and binary code 0.1 too. I’ve wanted it all to represent a sort of “magnet”.

The final statue will be 3 to 5 meters in height.
