Spanda, Modern sculpture at Elizabeth Quay, Perth, Australia
The Spanda sculpture consists of six white nested arches that increase exponentially in size, allowing visitors to walk through its structure.
The Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority selected Christian de Vietri's design proposal in 2014, leading to the sculpture's installation in January 2016.
The name derives from Kashmir Shaivism philosophy, where Spanda represents consciousness moving in waves through divine vibration.
The 29-meter tall structure incorporates carbon fiber manufacturing technology from the aerospace industry, making it the world's tallest freestanding carbon fiber structure.
The installation process required ten days of precise engineering work to position each arch correctly, culminating with the final lift on January 22, 2016.
