The Design

About Dance with Life Seni Awam

Ini adalah karya seni awam yang diperbuat daripada keluli tahan karat. Ia dipasang di tengah-tengah ciri air di ruang awam. Badan utama terdiri daripada dua simbol infiniti matematik yang saling berkaitan. Bentuk keseluruhan digabungkan dengan struktur yang dipacu angin. Ia biasanya muncul dalam keadaan statik, tetapi apabila angin lebih besar daripada rintangan struktur, ia akan memacu peranti yang dipacu angin untuk berputar dengan bebas. Karya seni melambangkan kebebasan yang tidak terhingga untuk meneroka kehidupan dan menyampaikan visi yang positif dan penuh harapan.
