The Stone
Patrick Corillon created his artwork titled ‘The Stone’ to symbolically bring the entire Bloemekenswijk neighbourhood together. He designed a timeless and perfectly fitting work. After many conversations with locals and city officials, he came up with a design centred on a stone. A tailor-made artwork that is highly universal and timeless at the same time.
‘The Stone’ caused ruptures in the ground from where metal trees have sprouted. The trees symbolise the countless stories originating from this neighbourhood. The message that the artist wants to convey is that, whatever people’s roots, just like the stone, their arrivals caused ruptures while also contributing to a flourishing community.
