​

The Melbourne Docklands is one of Australia's largest urban renewal projects, reconnecting central Melbourne with its historic waterfront, situated in the Yarra River. This 190ha area is lined with a large range of commercial, residential and leisure applications displaying an eclectic mix of art, design and community.

​

As a modern harbour development, the area combines culture, nature and community, but what makes this area unique is its ongoing relationship with its surroundings and heritage.

​

Our vision was to design a sculpture that represents the movement of change through 3 periods of history in the docklands, these include The Industrial Era, The Early Marina Era, and the Modern era. 

​

Through inspiration, design, materials, and history, we aim to create an atmosphere of understanding and enlightenment. We hope to bring the natural and man-made heritage back to the docklands, encouraging a positive relationship between the environment, the community and the enterprise that is the docklands.

​

Docklands has experienced much change over time and has an extensive historical background. By creating a sculpture that is an emblem of these concepts will bring more life to the docklands and bring people together to experience the true spirit of docklands.
