breezing in Canberra
"The concept of this sculpture features a vast sky and/or the universe and it expresses something that we cannot see such as wind and air. One can enjoy the movement engraved in the sculpture itself, but on the other hand, I think it also offers the viewers to feel atmosphere and time through their five senses. Although this sculpture is temperate and sensitive, it is also abundant and embracing, reflecting the image I had of Canberra during my visits. I hope that many people will love the sculpture’s warm-hearted expression and I hope this sculpture stays and lives in the hearts of each person visiting the Arboretum.” Kozo Nishino Kozo Nishino
