OPERA

In and Outdoor, large kinetic motor-driven sculpture for public places.

May 5, 2005 Ralfonso is selected as the Winner of the 1st Prize in the International Sculpture Competition for the luxury condominium Opera Place Development www.operaplacewpb.com in W. Palm Beach, Florida.

The successful kinetic sculpture submission is called Opera.

OPERA is a motor-driven kinetic aluminum/steel sculpture, which rotates slowly around its vertical axis, as the lights in the solid lucite center slowly change color,- and water drops fall gently from the top of its inner center.

The design of 6 different sized Opera Rings was inspired by the Logo for the Opera Place Development of BAP- http://www.operaplacewpb.com/ .

The SURPRISE effect of water "jumping" through center of the rings as they turn delights the viewers and

The soothing motion and sounds of the water drops make this an excellent choice for a luxury residence or condominium complex.

Opera can be fabricated out of different materials and metals, matching the interior finishes of a large lobby, atrium, etc. It can be custom sized from 6ft all the way to 18ft to match the space proportions. Alternatively, it can be integrated into a fountain base or a reflective pond along with water and light effects.
