About the artwork:
Triple Jet reappropriates the Manneken-Pis and elevates it to a monumental scale, reaffirming one of Brussels’ most beloved emblems as a gesture of collective identity. At a time when globalisation tends to homogenise cities and standardise their visual languages, the work asserts the singularity of each urban context and the people who inhabit it. This popular icon, transformed into a sculpture of light, activates a renewed reading of public space. More than illuminating, the piece invites encounter, reflection and belonging, opening a place where the diverse perspectives that shape Brussels can feel part of a shared landscape.
