The name "The Luna" finds its roots in the Latin word for the moon. This sculpture serves as a city's emblem, encapsulating the histories and cherished memories associated with this celestial body. The pattern carved at the heart of the moon represents the eternal cycle of life, the continuous birth of new beginnings, and the infinite nature of existence. Designed with elegance and simplicity, "The Luna" utilizes steel to showcase its inherent beauty, harmonizing seamlessly with the natural surroundings of the lake. Its 15-meter-tall water screens delicately envelop the sculpture, creating a spectacular fusion of nature and science that captivates the senses and ignites the imagination.
