Description

"Hacia el sur" is characterized by its unique design and the use of iron materials. The sculpture consists of two semicircles of iron that appear to separate or join together in a delicate balance. It is mounted on a concrete pyramid trunk, which gives the impression that the entire structure is rotating.

The sculpture is known for its fragmented appearance, with lines of iron that extend outward, resembling splinters or ruptures. This design creates a sense of movement and dynamism, as if the sculpture is frozen in a moment of transformation or change.

The sculpture "Hacia el sur" has become a notable landmark in Palma de Mallorca, attracting visitors who appreciate its artistic value and unique design.
