Who's Afraid?

Challenged myself to take my 45mm 1.8 lens for my Covid Lockdown walk today. Photographed this 3 metre tall tuatara from the Who's Afraid sculpture. (See a previous post of this sculpture: flic.kr/p/2iNF7vu)

 

The "Who's Afraid" sculpture was unveiled outside the Regent Theatre in Broadway on 3 July 2011. It is by local artist, Paul Dibble. The sculpture is in bronze of blue-green patina. The two contrasting pieces challenge each other, physically and metaphorically. The taller, the dancer, stands 3.5 metres. eying the 3 metre tall tuatara. Paul Dibble said, "Because it's for the Regent Theatre, it's about drama, acting out emotions and feelings. I've called it Who's Afraid, but I'm not too sure if she's alarmed or trying to scare the tuatara. There is also a fair bit of joy in her and that's because theatre is about all those emotions."
