Scarborough Rising is the tile of the artwork that takes the form of two elegant hot air balloons, with their uplifting symbolism of freedom and elevation, on either side of the gateway, crafted from mirror-polished stainless steel.

The balloons’ reflective surfaces will allow viewers to see themselves in the artwork, merging their own image with the broader surroundings and sky. This interplay of reflection and light will encourage passersby to feel a connection to the openness of the skies above.

These sculptures will provide a moment for viewers to pause, marvel, and embrace their connection to both the physical and metaphorical openness of their environment, through these sculptures.
