Greetings to the Universe

The abstract triangular artwork stands on two pyramidal legs. It comprises shaped metal tubes, strips, and plates on the front and back of which are symbolic reliefs with cosmic, figural, futuristic and, according to the artist, hidden sacral motifs (blessing hand, triangle – divine eye). 

The work is mounted on a shallow concrete pedestal and is located among pine trees on a lawn near a grocery and the Pri Kríži public transport stop. It is also known colloquially as the Rocket

In 2017, in the presence of the artist, city district representatives, and volunteers, the piece was professionally cleaned and its surroundings were tidied. 

Note: As of October 2022, the work is behind a fence while the site undergoes revitalisation and the park is expanded according to the MIB – Living Places project.
