The sculpture that the (inter)nationally renowned artist from The Hague Auke de Vries designed for Churchillplein consists of three elements that rise from the water of the pond and reach for the firmament. The thin forms effortlessly hold their own in an environment whose skyline is dominated by a zone of office buildings of internationally oriented companies and institutions, including the World Forum (the former Congress Building).

The three elements look like fragile spatial drawings made to return spirituality to the environment in which they are placed. The artist assumes that everyone who places sculptures in the public space is, in a certain sense, behaving like an intruder. The environment is no longer what it was before the visual intervention. De Vries wants to deal with this conscientiously. With his spatial interventions, he reacts more or less intuitively to the given circumstances.

The three elongated drawing-like lines of steel together form a sculpture that disrupts the rigid order of the surrounding buildings. Form elements are attached to the vertical 'lines' to give the sculpture more mass. Associations with a fan, feather, mast and other forms or objects are obvious. For the artist, the elimination of gravity, the suggestion of weightlessness and the recovery of balance are important. He works with weights and counterweights, volumes, connecting lines and forms that represent an enigmatic frame of reference. The three sculptural elements try to stand on one leg each. Together, according to the artist, they are part of a close-knit family of meanings.
