Visionären
Artist: Lena Flodman
Placed: 2023, Thyra's Park, Vårvik
Part of The Sculpture Tour
"The Visionary is the essence of Thyra Reuterwall's character and work as I imagine it. She had visions about and was involved in many issues in Trollhättan, where she also managed to implement major changes. This is illustrated by the pilot helmet on the girl. She seemed to possess a special kind of courage, which I have illustrated with the girl's climb to the top of the hill. Thyra's family came to Trollhättan after an adventurous trip across Lake Vänern. Thyra's Park is located right by the river. The pattern on the globe that supports the hill with the figure is inspired by that journey with a texture of stylized waves. The globe also illustrates the many trips Thyra made."
The Visionary represents the vulnerable children that Thyra had great compassion for. A visionary has their eyes set on the future. Children are all of our future.
