Entitled "Petra", the hyperrealistic figure depicts a female officer crouched, peeing with buttocks exposed. The most chilling detail is her riot baton casually propped on the wall next to her.

Awarded the 1,000-euro prize by the prestigious Leinemann Foundation for fine arts, the piece has created quite the controversy: 

"[The foundation's jury stated], 'It shows very well the difference between the public sphere and the private sphere.'

The GdP police union also blasted the piece, saying 'it breached the limits of artistic freedom.'"
