Overview

Convergence is a site-specific functional public art shaped in an oval composition. The dynamic form of it creates a metaphor for the inevitable ups and downs of life in a constant loop.

The scratched stainless steel used for the artwork reflects the industrial spirit of GALA neighborhood’s history while the wooden sitting areas represent the surrounding nature through the use of a natural substance.

Goals

This installation was primarily designed to act as a gathering point in the neighborhood -- A responsive landmark speaking to its social context and in conjunction with its site's master plan design.
