Freely based on Rodin
The red figure atop his lofty pedestal is an adaptation of the famous Thinker by Rodin and represents the alumnus of VUB: someone who is aware of the possible manipulations of rational thinking and the need to constantly question everything. The statue was erected in 2006, to mark the celebration of 150 years of Flemish students in Brussels and 50 years of the VUB Alumni Association.
