            The sculpture Empowerment over the River Witham, outside the Waterside Shopping Centre, Lincoln, Lincolnshire.  

Designed by the artist Stephen Broadbent, sponsored by Alstom Power (now Siemens), and completed in 2002 at the cost of £100,000. It takes the form of two aluminium-and-steel human figures reaching to each other across the water. The design is intended to echo the shape of turbine blades, in recognition of Lincoln's industrial heritage. The official opening 1st February 2002 by Gillian Merron MP

At 16 metres tall, Empowerment is used alongside more traditional images of Lincoln — the cathedral and castle — as a recognisable 'tourist emblem' of the city (similar to the adoption of the Angel of the North as a symbol of North East England).
