sculpture dc01 @ Museum beelden aan zee
This artwork is more than just a sculpture:
it’s a combination of art and science.
- Water from the air: The most remarkable aspect of this sculpture is that it produces its own water. Using solar energy, water is condensed from the air and collected in a reservoir.
- Natural movement: At regular intervals, the produced water erupts from the top of the sculpture: world’s first off the grid water fountain.
- Sustainability: The SunGlacier is a statement about sustainability and the relationship between humans and nature. The artwork emphasizes the value of water and the possibilities of sustainable technology.
- Abstract form: The sculpture itself has an abstract form, inspired by splashing water. The red cedar wood from which the sculpture is made gives it a warm and natural appearance.
