“...a sculpture more concerned with weightlessness than mass, spiralling upwards with a delicate, elegant and almost ethereal energy ”
- Wolfgang Buttress
The 23-metre high stainless steel sculpture is designed as a visible beacon for Kangaroo Point, that extends the vertical uplift of the cliffs when viewed from river-level.
When standing inside the base of the sculpture viewers look up into a spiral formation based on the intersection of central spines of the nautilus shell. The Fibonacci spiral creates vertical transitions that instil a transcendent affect or a sense of being airborne.
