Sculpture "Cornflower"

2 min. to read

In 2018, a unique metal sculpture "Cornflower" was installed on Zybitskaya Street in Upper Town of Minsk, gifted to the city by the engineering company EnCata for the City Day. This five-meter art object, symbolizing the cornflower—one of the main symbols of Belarus—is made of 16 aluminum blocks, each with three blades resembling flower petals attached to it. The uniqueness of the sculpture lies in its ability to come alive in the wind. Even light gusts set one blade in motion, which in turn initiates the movement of the entire structure. The petals begin to spin smoothly, creating the effect of a living flower, attracting the attention of passersby with its dynamism and beauty. At the foot of the sculpture, there is a QR code that can be scanned to watch a video about the creation of this engineering masterpiece. The author of the installation is Gleb Pogorelov, who embodied the idea of combining a symbol of nature with advanced technologies in a single object.
