Martin Luther King Statue

I learned recently that the city of Boston in the American state of Massachusetts displayed a modern art statue representing Martin Luther King and his struggles. I couldn't quite get my head around the posture of the statue. 

I don't really get abstract modern art. I draw pen sketches in this blog but they show my thoughts the way they really are. They're not excellent but they are clear. 

I went to the Tate modern a few times in the past, I didn't like the art there. I like the large empty space inside the main hall of the building though.
