The artist’s concept proposal states: "The Ovoid, made singular and independent from its traditional past, opens thoughts about self determination. The simplicity of the form gives time for contemplation, reflection, and new ways of thinking. The work is meant to be impactful both from a distance, and up close. The experience will be different from every perspective as the Ovoid is seen in profile, at various angles, and from the side. For those who don’t have an opportunity to learn about the work, and its history, it will appear as a different, yet familiar form, a pop of colour in the urban landscape, an easily described and remembered community meeting point. The effect will appear both substantial, and weightless at the same time. By “taking out of form and making it form” the sculpture represents Native philosophy, and its place in contemporary culture. Yuxweluptuns’ twenty-year investigation in to the ovoid, and his coining of the term Ovoidism, represents true innovation.”
