The Evergreen Twig
project for a park sculpture in Rosarium Park, Kazanlak, Bulgaria
The Evergreen Twig is a minimalist sculpture that evolves in an upward spiral - a symbol of continuous development and renewal.
The first elements of the composition - those that lie on the base, rest firmly on the foundation, creating a sense of stability. At the same time, from this solid foundation, the gradual upward movement begins. Delicately hinted at first, it becomes more and more visible and reaches its culmination with the last sheet, which is almost upright and upward to the sky.
The sculpture is made up of 8 steel plates shaped as rose leaves. Six of the plates are the same, and the two top are slightly smaller. The stainless steel sheets 5 mm thick. The plates are carried by three tubular elements with a diameter D = 60 mm, which are slightly twisted to create a sense of organic material (twig).
The entire composition will be fastened to a metal plate that lies on and is anchored to the foundation. This will ensure a reliable attachment of the plastic, which has a center of gravity exerted. In addition, the openings in the foundation must be filled with concrete.
This is a constructive solution for the "Conceptual Design" phase. In the event of a conversion, these and all other details will be further refined.
The total weight of the composite, together with the metal mounting plate, is about 600-650 kg - a load that will be quietly carried by the foundation.
The provided material - stainless steel, is strong enough to withstand weather and other influences.
The value of the project is indicated in the attached draft budget.
Dimensions
Height: 303 cm
Total height with the base: 363 cm
Width: 197 cm
Depth: 199 cm
