Dec 5th, 2018: Runner
This sculpture is called Dromeas or Runner by Costas Varotsos. He started it in 1988 and finished in 1994.
It was erected at Omonia Square in Athens, Greece, not Georgia. Georgia USA, not Europe. Anyway, they felt compelled to move it to Megalis tou Genous Sholi square when subway construction began under the first location. That seemed wise considering it’s 12 meters high and glass. Quote:

I wonder if he sand blasted the edges so there's no shiny surfaces or sharp corners/edges to photograph clearly.
Took him 6 years to figure it out.

Looks like stacked plate glass.

Yes it is. I think there's a steel support in the middle but what is seen is stacked sheet glass.
