This is a winning sculpture that serves as a milestone in the gateway to Nelson. In a wonderful landscape, the orientation of the sculpture is designed for maximum use of light and obtain shadows. The local people and also the Maori community have been involved throughout the process.
This is a very thoughtful work with a very slow development that takes into account historical and symbolic factors and urban landscape.
