Coinciding with the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games, Lucy and Jorge Orta were commissioned to produce L'Envol, a bronze polychrome statue installed in the 2024 Parcours Les Victoires, Plaine Commune, Saint-Denis, France.
A life-size bronze sculpture of a child releasing a bird is placed on the footbridge overlooking the Canal Saint Denis and the Olympic stadium. The universal figure symbolises the link between generations, a dynamic and poetic image of renewal for a neighbourhood in the making, at the heart of urban and ecological transitions.
