The motion

That the Parliament recognises the Hope Sculpture Project, which launches on 8 November 2021; notes that the three sculptures by British designer Steuart Padwick are being erected across historically significant locations in Glasgow to coincide with COP26; understands that the central piece, The Hope Sculpture, is a 23.5 metre high structure towering over Clyde Gateway’s Woodland Park at Cunnigar Loop, made from a new low-carbon concrete and incorporating recycled crushed glass; further understands that it is topped by a sculpture of a child with its arms reaching out – a symbol of hope for the future, and notes that there is also a 4.5 metre Beacon of Hope work, located at Glasgow Central Station, which it understands is a celebration of the country’s expanding timber construction industry, and the Hope Triptych, an adaptation of the child featured at the top of the columns located at the University of Strathclyde’s Rottenrow Gardens.
