Amor al Viento

by Rachel Craddock


This set of two sculptures is called "Amor al Viento," or Love of the Wind. It was designed by Santiaguina Marcela Romagnoli for the 101st anniversary (which was last year) of the founding of Puerto Natales. I love it.

Puerto Natales is one of the southernmost Chilean settlements, making it a part of the Chilean Patagonia. Patagonia is known for its intense wind gusts, which can reach about 100km/h... so I'm guessing Romagnoli had that in mind when designing these sculptures.
