This is very attractive arch! Made in 2001 by Kan Yasuda. From the Citygarden brochure: "The egg-shapped form at the top of the door resembles a seed that has just split open or a mouth that opens to the sky, like a baby' first cry. Artist Kan Yasuda has left the answer deliberately ambiguous, leading us to think about time and space, life and death, the past and the present. When we pass through the door what is the place we are returning to?"
Type: Triumphal (Monument/Memorial)
Subtype: Sculpture
