´The Growth' consists of two identical concrete elements. The marks of both the moulding boards and the gradation made in the mould show clearly on their surfaces, lending rhythm to the imposing piece and a allowing changing conditions of lightning to play on its surface. Together with its surroundings, the sculpture `The Growth' is pure 1960s. The work follows the ascetic aesthetics of the surrounding architecture, being itself an architectural element.

Due to construction work on the area 'The Growth' has been temporarily stored.
