How will the statue look like since the identity of Satoshi is unknown?

As per the design sketch, Satoshi Nakamoto will be shown as a hooded figure as the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is still unknown. The face of the sculpture will be made of a bronze aluminum alloy and the artist will polish it extensively and make it into a reflective surface so people can see their own reflection in the statue. The idea behind the reflection was to show and depict that ‘we are all Satoshi’.
