iDIDIT!

Public Art · Sunshine Coast Private Teaching Hospital, Birtinya

‘Play energises and enlivens us. It eases our burdens, renews our natural sense of optimism and opens us up to new possibilities.’ iDIDIT! is a magnificent sculpture that encapsulates the jubilation of a child successfully executing a cartwheel. It stands as a powerful testament to the intrinsic value of play in human development, endorsing the importance of learning, health, and familial bonds.

The sculpture is a commanding feature, noticeable from all angles, both during the day and night. It's designed to pique the interest of everyone - from car passengers and pedestrians to hospital patients, visitors, and park-goers. It is a work of art that appeals to all, providing a moment of joy and a reminder of the simple pleasures of life.

Constructed from 244 layers of 25mm plate weathering steel, iDIDIT! weighs in at a hefty 10 tonnes. It serves not just as an arresting piece of public art but also as a welcoming landmark to the Sunshine Coast Private Teaching Hospital. It stands tall and joyful, infusing the hospital environment with a sense of vitality and a celebration of the human spirit.
