The sculture stands on the bank of the Ayalon Freeway (the primary traffic artery of the Tel-Aviv area), opposite the main train station of the Dan Region, adjoining a projected bridge connecting the cities of Tel-Aviv and Ramat Gan, in the Diamond District ("Bursa"), Ramat-Gan. This is a central activity area, perhaps the most central in all of Israel. Traffic in all its forms is non-stop. Here, they meet. This flow, the elixir of life for the country, is tension filled. The sculpture is mounted between two new office towers, in a changing, developing area. The surrounding everyday life is teeming: industrial production, hi-tech, offices, commerce, hotels, nightclubs, gambling, sex, crime - everything which influences our modern life happens here, and at a brisk pace. As the third millennium unfolds, the anticipation and the observation are the present tense of life here, and they are the future as well. The new window wrapped structures are built from industrial steel materials, glass, aluminum, stone facing, etc.. The sculpture is made from materials connected to the surrounding architecture and its location - marble, painted steel, and stainless steel cable. The connecting bolts are industrial. The sculpture was mounted in January, 2000. |
