David McCracken’s infinite stairway to heaven

Humanity has always focused on reaching the skies, surpassing its capabilities, and focusing on growth more than ever.

It’s an eye-catching piece because it offers you a great way to visualize how you get to reach the skies in a meaningful way.

What makes it special?

It also does a perfect job when it comes to simulating the illusion of an infinite stairway, a way for us to reach the utmost levels in our lives in a creative manner.

Installed in different locations

The regions where this sculpture was located are already impressive and visually distinct, and David McCracken’s work added a bit of color and excitement too. It’s a visionary, impressive piece and one with meaningful and distinct ideas related to our society. The sculpture has previously been installed at Sculpture by the Sea, Sydney, and Sculpture on the Gulf on Waiheke Island.
