About The Works
Reach, 2026
Reach is a new sculpture by Maria Zahle, proposed for The Parterre Gardens in Tivoli for CHART 2026. It is conceived to engage with its surroundings - flowers, colorful lamps, and Tivoli’s playful aesthetic-continuing the artist’s exploration of bronze and natural elements through flower-like forms.
Crafted in polished bronze with painted details in vivid colors, the work rises from a base into organic shapes. Approximately human in height, it explores the relationship between the viewer, the sculpture, and the surrounding plants.
