2020 SWELL ARTWORK – #lifebridge

Our Sculpture celebrates the journey of Life. By inviting visitors to walk across the bridge – we imagine a metaphor of shedding negative thoughts, and using the crossing to channel positive energy. #lifebridge forces us to move forward. The Bridge has one direction, broken into three sections. The contrast of the three sections embodies our metaphor. The first section represents the past, second represents the present, the third symbolizes the future. The structural integrity of the bridge relies on the three sections connecting. One could not exist without the other.

SWELL Kids Artist Statement – #lifebridge

A Bridge connects two points – crossing over a divide.
A bridge can also be a powerful symbol – an important landmark.
This artwork celebrates life – and offers safe passage to discover, explore and investigate.
We hope you enjoy the experience!

Come and see for yourself at SWELL Sculpture Festival, Pacific Parade, Currumbin 11-20 September.
