A Celebration Of Our Blue Sky


A CELEBRATION OF OUR BLUE SKY

There stand four tall posts...
but you see only two of them,
sometimes three and sometimes all fours...
depending on where you stand.

You come to see these posts...
which symbolize nature...
that is continuously changing.

The colour of the posts is blue symbolizing the sky ... true! ...
but watching the sky at sunset or,
at night you'll give up this cliche...
that the sky is always blue.

The blue in this work of mine symbolizes...
man's desire to return to nature.

This sculpture is created by the
renowned Artist NAKAYAMA Hitori
on 25th January 2008

'If you find difficulty in accepting a work of art, it is this particular piece that serves to open your mind."

P.S. I always prefer traditional sculptures and tend to dislike modern/contemporary sculptures, can't really appreciate those sculptures or designs such as the "nutmeg" at Pesara King Edward roundabout and the new "Wave of Prosperity" design at Gurney drive roundabout. Now, I realized that to appreciate a sculpture you need to understand what it symbolize or the message it want to convey.

My poor pix do not do justice to the actual sculpture.
