Is it a sculpture or a portal to the cosmos? Here at Victoria Point, you’ll find Celestial Ground, a mesmerizing work of art by Dr. Colleen Boyle. This isn’t just any sculpture. Celestial Ground embodies the very essence of astronomy, observation, and our place in the vast universe. Notice how the folding plates, inspired by a carbon molecule found in outer space, seem to reach for the sky. Look closer and you’ll discover etchings of constellations from our Southern Hemisphere night sky. Those mirror-polished panels? They’re not just for show. They reflect the cosmos back at us, reminding us of the telescopes that allow us to peer into the unknown. But they also invite you to reflect, to consider your own place within this magnificent universe. Are you standing on solid ground or are we all just dancing among the stars?
