These eight rocks, on top of pillars in a circular formation, are supposed to show the human form. On closer look this is true!

Antony Gormley is a Britiah sculptor and this is one of his early works. It is located in the plaza of the British Library close to St Pancras and Euston railway station. The human forms are there but have to be looked for carefully. Some of the photos are zoomed in to try and pick out the human form.

The plaque reads:
"Planets / Antony Gormley / 2002 / Generously funded by / John Ritblat / and the Ritblat family / The Henty Moore Foundation / and other donors".
