DESIGNED visual information: Representational, Abstract, Symbolic
Representational - Sculpture
The Statue/sculpture of a police with children represent the protector of the community. The statue was built for a memorial of Hamilton Police officers killed in-the-line of duty. Also, Sarcasm aside, and religion aside, it is still interesting to think that a city’s sculpture may be a reflection of who are the people, or, more likely, who the government is.
Abstract - Sculpture
In Italian, 'Due Anime Deventano Un,' means two souls become one. Without having similar form in any kind of object in the world, and it doesn't retain its realistic, it makes this sculpture abstract. Moreover, The intricate elliptical design was conceived of during the artist's reflection on the meaning of love. The sculpture is focused more on its form, color, and mood to replicate the artist's idea of love.
Symbolic - Sculpture
In budha or hindu, sculpture or a statue is believed to be a symbol of something. For example, Guan Yin is the bodhisattva who is symbolic of wisdom, Ganesha as a symbol of intelect and wisdom, etc. And each parts of Ganesha sculpture symbolize something, such as: Big head - think big, small eyes - concentrate, to pull nearer to the highest goal, large ears - listen more, small mouth - less talk, and so on.
