Shendi, who became a member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors in 2014, also made each block capable of being rotated.

He said: “I love my work to be touched by children.

“It’s colourful so it appeals to all kind of ages from any background, any class.

“The sculpture was inspired by children’s building blocks. You’re trying to teach kids about the balance and the harmony between surfaces.

“This is what community is really.

“How different backgrounds, different faiths, different beliefs and different political views are all combined together.”
