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.
