"The sculpture is formed as a continuous spatial loop that frames views and directs movement, producing a sequence of changing visual perspectives. Rather than functioning as an object to be observed from a distance, the installation is designed as an inhabitable structure that supports movement, sitting, and tactile engagement. The spatial configuration allows passers-by to move through and within the form, integrating everyday use into the experience of the artwork and positioning it as part of the public realm rather than a detached sculptural object."
"Water circulation is integrated as a central design element, reinforcing themes of movement, continuity, and flow. The presence of water operates both spatially and symbolically, referencing natural cycles and processes through continuous motion. This integration positions the sculpture as an interface between material form and environmental dynamics, linking physical presence with less tangible phenomena such as circulation, transformation, and connectivity."
Water Sculpture LJ occupies a central Ljubljana urban site as a site-specific, inhabitable public artwork realized nine years after winning a public design competition. The work creates a defined micro‑environment and a small urban platform through a continuous, rounded geometry that contrasts with surrounding city movement while remaining visually and physically accessible. Formed as a continuous spatial loop, the sculpture frames views, directs movement, and produces shifting perspectives while supporting movement, sitting, and tactile engagement. Integrated water circulation reinforces movement, continuity, and natural cycles, linking material form with environmental dynamics. Stainless steel was chosen for reflective properties and urban durability.
