Jaume Plensa’s Love, Leeuwarden BELOW: Fortuna’s Fountain by Stephan Balkenhol, designed for the town of Sneek
LEEUWARDEN
There’s a pair of giant heads: a boy and a girl facing each other. They’re glowing white, made from a substance that’s luminous in a way that appears otherworldly. It turns out to be polyester resin mixed with marble dust. Jaume Plensa’s sculpture-cumfountain is titled ‘Love’ — it’s a towering 23ft structure surrounded by a curtain of mist.
