Moments Contained is a 2022-2023 bronze sculpture on the Stationsplein, in front of Rotterdam Centraal station, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. It was created by artist Thomas J. Price, a London-based artist with Caribbean roots. A similar statue is on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Description
The sculpture is almost four metres tall and depicts a fictional, bronze-haired young woman. She stands erect and appears confident. The knuckles of her clenched hands are visible in her trouser pockets, suggesting the woman may be less casual than she appears at first glance. She stands on the ground, rather than on a pedestal.
The woman is the same fictional character as the person in the sculpture Reaching Out (2020) in London.
Creation and reveal
Moments Contained was shown at Art Basel in 2022, and was unveiled on location in Rotterdam on 2 June 2023 in the presence of the artist, state secretary Gunay Uslu, and Rotterdam's mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb. The sculpture was donated to the city by Stichting Droom en Daad, the philanthropic fund of the Van der Vorm family. It is scheduled to stand in this location for five years, after which the site will be evaluated. It will be part of Rotterdam's International Sculpture Collection.
