For 5 years I have been looking at these two pinguins through the window across from my office.

This statue was commisioned by my job an delivered to the site. Finally last week. I decided that there must be something there and it was time I figured it out. One thing is that it looks different from the outside of the building than from the inside! Although perhaps little like eagles now instead of penguins.

So I took a break. Walked around a little. One thing that I noticed is that the sculpture has a kinetic quality. At the correct angle the birds seem to coalesce into a single block of bronze

And at another the are seperate. A chasm between them perhaps fillable with the section on the ground to the right of the tree.

Ah yes perhaps I do see it now. I suppose the chunck could fill in the empty section to create a complete massive structure. Fill in the puzzle.

Or I suppose I could approach things from a different view and see the complete sturcture is present. I just have to pass through the doorway, portal, and cross the barrier, and bridge the gap. Bsteph eh Voilla. It is what it supposed to be. It is a bridge!

gee, you're company must have money to burn....lol Nice sculpture though - kind of thing the local councils around here buy for young people to spray on.... How about a colour shot so we can see it in it's glory? (and all I see is those bloody penguins....lol) (",)

hmmm...i like it..it does look like eagles of some sort......I wish I can get a better view at the chunk right behind them....its as if they're ingnoring it....they're both faced the other way...not wanting part of it maybe....or why are they slanted apart from eachother like that....making a walkway for the little guy....making way for the young, new and fresh I suppose...letting the little sculpture through....(like most jobs)..or maybe Im just really hungry..and my brain aint functioning right......

now that I look at it again...on the fifth picture the small sculpure looks like a sperm....maybe its just an offspring...its eagles and their offspring...just why would they be facing the other way like that.....look what you've done to me....my brain is sizzling...
