The Kiss

The Kiss is a metal sculpture located in a residential neighborhood and depicts two figures leaning toward each other in an embrace. It sits at the intersection of Rembrandtstraat and Gerard Doustraat, surrounded by homes and everyday streets.

The sculpture was installed in 2002 as this location transformed from agricultural land into a modern residential development. It marks a turning point when rural areas in this region began adopting contemporary urban forms.

The work reflects how contemporary Dutch communities use art to transform residential areas into spaces where people encounter creativity in their daily lives. It shows how public art can become a natural part of how a neighborhood looks and feels.

The sculpture is accessible at any time of day by walking through residential streets near the intersection of Rembrandtstraat and Gerard Doustraat. There are no barriers or special requirements to view it from the public space around it.

The metal surfaces shift in appearance as daylight changes throughout the day, casting different shadows and highlights across the figures. This means the feeling of the embrace changes depending on when you visit and where the sun is in the sky.
