Wall of Sorrow / Wall of Joy, Aagaard’s permanent sculpture-installation is specially designed for the public recreation area and promenade on Lake Mjøsa. In fact, they are not walls, but open frames, set 2.7 meters apart, the same measurement as their height and width, creating an open cube. Their bright signal-red color, the color of passion, contrasts with the natural cool greens and blues and creates a focal point for visitors. The structures also function as benches, where passersby can rest, reflect, converse, mourn, rejoice and embrace. The open forms encompass the landscape, concentrating all these joys and sorrows while also allowing them to circulate freely in the environment.
