The construction
workers spent all day erecting the sculpture. This man looked like a bronco buster when fastening fifteen bolts which were to keep the
construction together.
Setting up the first two slabs took only a few
hours. The third gave much more difficulty, as it was to be fit under
the second and onto the first, and simultaneously lock into one of the
three stainless steel notches in the triangular foundation. A third
crane came into action to lift the whole construction in order to
succeed.
"If this would not have been successful, there would have been no alternative
but to let it collapse. Even when done as slowly as possible they would
have broken as they would come to lie unpredictably on top of each
other. Some luck was needed, and we had it"
Lucien den Arend
