Worcester city centre is to welcome a vibrant new public art installation, "Anything But Ordinary".
Created by artist MrASingh, the immersive piece aims to highlight human connections and shared experiences.
It will be anchored at The Worcester Plinth, from now until the end of October.
The installation has been developed through a partnership with The Monday Night Club, a Worcester-based organisation that promotes wellbeing amongst individuals with learning disabilities and autism.
The project has received financial support from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, courtesy of Worcester City Council.
The art piece features six large wooden panels, each standing at a towering 8ft by 4ft to create an impressive 24ft wide and 8ft tall artwork.
MrASingh skillfully blends a variety of themes, resulting in a dynamic visual experience.
The vibrant colours at the bottom also mirror the stripes of The Monday Night Club's logo, playfully representing unique identities and life experiences.
In contrast, the top of the panels feature images of celestial nebulae, with the monochrome lines interspersed throughout representing life's complexities.
The Worcester Plinth, once the dilapidated Screen House, has now been repurposed as a prominent showcase for public art.
Positioned on the City's riverside, this 15-foot-tall outdoor space allows the community and visitors to admire these large installations from the city's key vantage points for greater public engagement.
MrASingh said: "This artwork is a celebration of everything that makes us unique.
"Despite our differences, we're all connected by a shared human experience, represented by the natural wood grain that flows through the entire piece."
Oliver Carpenter of The Worcester Plinth said: "This is the third in our series of artworks where artists have worked closely with local charities to reflect or explore what they do.
"It gives them a different way to talk about themselves and, with this one, it has enabled lots of The Monday Night Club members to participate in the creation of an artwork seen by 1000’s of people as they walk and drive through Worcester.
"Funded by money given to Worcester City Council by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (a UK Government fund), we are very appreciative of the City Council team for selecting this project for funding."
