Also, if a large public sculpture like this can be taken as a symbol of the aspirations of a country - I think there's something quite pleasantly honest / realistic about this one.
While the Eiffel Tower is regular and authoritarian .. this is a sprawling mess. No hierarchy - no single, pointed ambition. Just an organic, amorphous network of appendages. It's quite a modern statement - maybe a statement that we as a country should aim to promote.
The references to roller-coaster / helter-skelter is quite a witty touch. Bit self-deprecating maybe .. but ultimately a reminder that good times follow bad - and all is connected.
I think I might grow to like it.
