A sculpture that invites you to sit differently, look differently, and engage with public space in a new way. Eight steel modules are welded together into a single composition. Some shapes invite you to sit or lie down, while others require more balance or daring. FLAX shifts your line of sight, and with it, the way you experience the surrounding space. Sometimes you look outward — a treetop, a passerby, … Sometimes your gaze is directed inward, into the sculpture itself. People come close, intentionally or by chance. You don’t have to speak to share a moment together. At the request of the city of Kortrijk, a version was developed that can be moved using a crane and truck. Depending on the context, new variations may arise in composition, size, color, and relation to the space.
