A mind blowing sculpture covering the entire wall of a seven story parking garage for the Amway Centre.
A lone lady sculpture, standing on the pavement points up at seven figures climbing ladders up the wall, on the roof stands a figure holding a globe.
"commissioned by the city of orlando for the recently constructed amway center, 'our journey' is a sculptural installation
by american artist bill starke, composed of eight life-size human figures depicted on a journey together to scale the side
of the building. the amway center is home of the NBA basketball team the orlando magic, and the installation's narrative
reflects the values of cooperation, decision-making, and achievement.
each of the eight life-size figures was cast in aluminum using lost-wax casting, and the series of ladders,
also composed of aluminum, are painted in a range of colours of high solids polyurethane paint.
a star pattern of lights highlights the top third of the installation and illuminates the globe held by the topmost figure."
