Polaris

Movements of stars have often dictated agricultural seasons, religious festivals, and significant happenings with rituals aligned with astronomical events, like solstices and equinoxes. Jun Ong's Polaris has been plucked from the heavens and landed here. It’s a bright shining beacon for our journey through town. The star’s points connect the bridge, water, and quayside, three central aspects of Amsterdam’s urban landscape. It is also inspired by the complexity and grandeur of sails and cables of the martiime history of the city. Whether you admire Polaris by foot, bicycle, or from the water, the experience is always one you want to share, in real life, or online.
