Sanctuary Stage 3 – Public Art
Designed to seamlessly integrate with the surrounding landscape, the artwork varies in height and placement, immersing viewers within the sculptural forms.
Introduction
The concept for the public artwork is inspired by the rare flora that thrives in the challenging ecological conditions of Wentworth Point’s mangroves and salt marshes.
The laser-cut pattern does not simply represent the petals or leaves directly, but rather abstracts the organic forms found in nature, translating the movement and intricacies of the flora into a dynamic design.

These resilient plant species have been reimagined in an abstract form that mirrors the curved architectural columns at the lobby entrance, subtly referencing the organic shapes of pistils, petals, and receptacles.
This approach creates a sense of discovery, allowing people to feel as though they are part of the natural environment—finding sanctuary and refuge among the flowers, just as wildlife does in the wetlands.
