About Dance with Life Sanaa Ya Umma

Hii ni sanaa ya umma iliyotengenezwa kwa chuma cha pua. Imewekwa katikati ya kipengele cha maji katika nafasi ya umma. Mwili mkuu unajumuisha alama mbili za hisabati zilizounganishwa. Sura ya jumla imejumuishwa na muundo unaoendeshwa na upepo. Kawaida inaonekana katika hali ya tuli, lakini wakati upepo ni mkubwa kuliko upinzani wa muundo, itaendesha kifaa kinachoendeshwa na upepo ili kuzunguka kwa uhuru. Mchoro huo unaashiria uhuru usio na kikomo wa kuchunguza maisha na unatoa maono chanya na yenye matumaini.
