Meditação Labiríntica, Public art monument in Barra Funda district, São Paulo, Brazil.
Meditação Labiríntica is a wooden and canvas structure in a residential neighborhood in western São Paulo. The roughly 3-meter-tall and 4-meter-wide construction forms a labyrinth with pathways designed for meditation and walking.
The work was created by artist Valdir Sarubbi and later recognized as a monument through the Monuments of São Paulo project. This official acknowledgment reflects its role in the district's artistic development.
The wooden structure shows how public art can be a place for quiet reflection in the middle of the city. Visitors move through its winding paths as a way to pause and step back from daily urban life.
The work sits in the Barra Funda area and is easy to reach on foot while walking through the neighborhood. Access is open and free, making it suitable for casual visits at any time.
The name describes literally what a visitor is meant to experience: a labyrinth that serves meditation, not just an artistic pattern to view. This blend of physical path and inner search makes the work more than just an installation.
