The sprinter

An iconic feature of the Sydney 2000 Olympics has become a new landmark beside the New M4 motorway at Homebush. Originally located at the top of the Centrepoint Tower in Sydney’s CBD to celebrate the Sydney Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2000. “The famous 16-metre-high and 8.5 tonne Sprinter artwork which was a focal point of the Sydney games has been given a new lease of life, repositioned beside the New M4 Motorway near Homebush Bay Drive.

It has become a significant Sydney landmark in its new location, reminding thousands of people every day about our wonderful games and garnering a new generation of admirers.” The Sprinter is illuminated white at night, however in recognition of major events at Sydney Olympic Park the lights can change colours similar to other buildings and structure seen around the Sydney Olympic Park precinct.”

Water/Sky

Water/Sky is a symbol of hope, continuity, and connection.

Inspired by the goddess Nike, the ancient embodiment of victory and achievement for athletes, Water/Sky celebrates the enduring human spirit.

A Gateway sculpture for Kai Tak Sports Park, Hong Kong – Water/Sky rises eight metres high in gleaming aluminium, the figure stands with one hand reaching skyward — a poised moment of victory, celebration and determination.

Etched across the surface are constellations and cartographic markings that trace Hong Kong’s evolution through time. A celestial map on the shoulder evokes navigation and guidance, while the inscription Gratitude honours those who laid the foundations of the city’s progress. As light shifts throughout the day, reflections and shadows animate the sculpture like a living sundial — mapping the passage from past to present to future.

Blending art, history, and environment, Water/Sky stands as both monument and inspiration — a meeting point of water and sky, heritage and innovation, earth and stars.
