Habibi

2013

This striking bronze sculpture presents an abstract circular form crowned with curved antler-like protrusions, creating a commanding silhouette against the sky. Mounted on a cylindrical concrete plinth and situated within a textured circular stone base, the work dominates its waterfront setting at Point Walter Reserve with both scale and visual presence. The polished bronze ring frames views of the surrounding landscape, while the upswept horns suggest both naturalistic and geometric abstraction. Created by Ayad Alqaragholli in 2013, the piece engages with themes of identity and cultural expression through its enigmatic form, inviting viewers to project meaning onto its openness. Set within the park's manicured lawns and mature trees, the sculpture functions as both a landmark and a contemplative focal point for the community. Photo by Steve Doig on Unsplash
