| Concept | WIGとは「鬘（かつら）」のこと。樹木や並木の間にこの造形物が立つとさしずめ大地のまげとでもいおうか。風を受け止めそれを軽妙に流しながら再び上空へと巻きあげる。やや傾斜しながら立つ姿はある種のおかしみさえこみあげさせてくれる。柔らかいカーブを描いて上空でくっきり正面を向く楕円形の断面、左右のエッジライン、アルミ合金のいくつかのパーツを積み重ねてできている。宇部市役所すぐ斜め前の真締川沿いの橋のたもとにあって、いまでは町のシンボルのような親しみがある。 It looks like a topknot growing out of the earth in the middle of plants. It catches the wind and winds it up again while flowing it lightly. Its appearance of standing with a slight inclination makes you feel some kind of strangeness. It has an elliptical cross section that draws a soft curve and faces clearly in the sky, left and right edge lines, and several parts of aluminum alloy are stacked. It is located at the foot of a bridge along the Majime River, diagonally in front of Ube City Hall, and is now familiar as a symbol of the town. |
