Ouroboros and Canberra’s Bus Shelters | Australia News
Description
A dazzling $14 million sculpture called Ouroboros, made from scrap metal and glowing like stars at night, has become Canberra’s newest cultural icon — and it’s sparking unexpected connections to the city’s quirky, retro bus shelters. Artist Lindy Lee designed it as a beacon to draw crowds and elevate the National Gallery’s profile, and it’s already a viral talking point. Cartoonist David Pope even drew a poetic link between the sculpture’s eternal symbolism and the quiet contemplation of waiting for a bus under those iconic 70s shelters — blending national grandeur with everyday life in a way that’s both whimsical and deeply resonant.
