Known as 'Umbrella Man', this public art installation has emerged as something of a mascot for the pro-democracy student movement in Hong Kong. Having used umbrellas to shield themselves from teargas, umbrellas have taken on a unique and symbolic meaning for the Occupy Central movement. The statue was erected at a protest site overnight and was designed by a 22 year old student known only as 'Milk'. Comparisons have been draw with the 'Goddess of Democracy' statue that was erected in Tiananmen Square before the government crackdown there in 1989.
