Quasi, Rooftop sculpture at City Gallery Wellington, New Zealand.
The 16-foot sculpture displays a large hand with a human face made of polystyrene and resin, balanced on two fingers atop the gallery building.
Created by artist Ronnie van Hout in 2016 for Christchurch Art Gallery, the sculpture moved to Wellington in 2019 as a temporary installation lasting five years.
The name references Quasimodo from Victor Hugo's novel, while the design incorporates scans of the artist's own hand and facial features.
The sculpture stands prominently visible from multiple angles in the city center, making it a reference point for visitors navigating downtown Wellington.
The sculpture travels between locations by helicopter, with its next destination set in Australia after departing Wellington in 2024.
