About the Work

Dichotomy is a 48-tonne interactive and immersive sculpture created from sand and water that explores the opposite extremes of nature – tropical land and sea – which will be intricately carved on either side of it.

The Sea will take you into the depths of the oceanic waters, allowing you to marvel at the beauty of the Reef and the remarkable variety of coral, species of fish, numerous mammals and reptiles, types of molluscs and the unique range of habitats creating this natural ecosystem. You may even see a few man-made elements that have made their way to the bottom of the Ocean and have been adapted and used by this underwater world.

The Australian Tropical Rainforest has survived for millions of years, from the time the dinosaurs wandered the Earth. We will carve the beauty of this space, its rare plants, birds and animals that call this place their home.
