Meliora, the Latin noun meaning ‘better things’ or for the pursuit of the better.
Meliora is a temporary public art-chitecture. It exists as a space of reflection, immersion and joy for its audience. It is an abstract representation of how the global community has the power to come together to cooperate in times of need and is making its world premiere at Enlighten 2025.
The world is at the precipice of change. This change can be felt from all directions, from climatic influences, political feuds, economic fluctuations and social pressures.
As a global community of humans, we throw ourselves into this convergence of change with a feeling of resilience, determination and hope.
Art plays an important role in enriching the everyday life. Amongst so much seemly chaos, it is important now, more than ever to find joy in the everyday, to find moments of wonder that excite our inherent curiosity.
The form is defined by interwoven curves, connecting and converging in the centre of the form, creating a vaulted moment of negative space for the audience to traverse through and under.
The intertwined curves create vast apertures of negative space. These windows represent metaphorical windows into alternative perspectives, representing and encouraging empathy and care towards our fellow humans.
