Limassol-based UW Group, one of the world’s leading shipping representatives, has expressed deep concern and disappointment following the vandalism of the sculpture “Fellow Travellers”, which was donated to the municipality in June 2025 during the company’s 25th anniversary celebrations.

The company said the sculpture was created and offered as a symbol of community, creativity, and companionship, describing it as “a piece intended for everyone to enjoy.”  

At the same time, it said the damage was “not only disheartening for us as a company but for all who value art, culture, and respect in our city.” 

Moreover, UW group strongly condemned this act of vandalism, adding that “such actions undermine the spirit of community and the collective efforts to enhance public spaces for the benefit of all.” 

It also said the group had instructed the artist to undertake the restoration of the sculpture and return it to its original form. 

UW group stated that it “remains committed to supporting initiatives that bring art, culture, and meaning to public spaces”.

In addition, the company said it “firmly believes that respect, responsibility, and civic pride will prevail”.

Finally, it said the incident “serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting and respecting what is created for the community”.
