The Design

About Dance with Life El Arte Público

Esta es una obra de arte público hecha de acero inoxidable. Está instalado en el centro de una fuente de agua en un espacio público. El cuerpo principal está compuesto por dos símbolos matemáticos del infinito entrelazados. La forma general se combina con una estructura impulsada por el viento. Por lo general, aparece en un estado estático, pero cuando el viento es mayor que la resistencia estructural, hará que el dispositivo impulsado por el viento gire libremente. La obra de arte simboliza la infinita libertad de exploración de la vida y transmite una visión positiva y esperanzadora.

Inspiration: Inspired by the ∞, the symbol of infinity in mathematics is ∞, which comes from the Latin infinitas, which means no boundary. This work takes it as the core, and uses bright stainless steel to construct a smooth and A shape with a sense of visual penetration.In order to enhance the overall details and aesthetic feeling, a group of golden wind-moving structures that can rotate naturally under the drive of the wind are set up by using the gap generated in the center of the two interlaced structures, conveying the spiritual symbol of the endless cycle of life.
