The sculpture blends into the public space, responding to the circular geometry of the existing landscaping and following the flow of traffic in the square. It forms a large arch that converges towards the cultural centre.
The sculpture defines three distinct spaces. The first, towards the tree and the circular layout, provides a static space between it and the bench. This space is protected by the sculpture, giving a sense of security and intimacy. The second space, between the two parts of the sculpture, is dynamic and sensational. The third space, opposite the quarter-circle layout, creates an area that is comparable to a stage in terms of its exposure and central position. The sculpture brings people together and enlivens the neighbourhood by extending the cultural activities into the square.
The perspective of the sculpture creates a dialogue with the façade of the building. The elevation of the sculpture echoes the proportions of the semi-circle at the entrance to the cultural centre. The sculpture adds movement to the building’s uncluttered façade. Drivers on the roundabout will see the sculpture as a furtive gesture that illuminates the square.
