ONE TEAM, ONE GOAL

DESTROYED, DNCC, DA CHANG, NANJING, CHINA
5,20 METER HIGH
RECYCLED AND COATED STEEL

The sculpture One Team One Goal has been specifically designed to reflect the actual DNCC company spirit. Sculptor Hans Mes turned this theme into the recognizable image of a sports team, embracing each other before the start of a match in a circle and concentrating on their determined ambition to win the match. From many team sports this is a well known ceremony on the sports field. Because DNCC consists of 7 departments, seven people are shown in the sculpture. Four figures each carry a part of the Chinese slogan of the theme on their body: Safe, Clean, Reliable, DNCC. Three of them each have subject bound cut-outs and overlays of many symbols used in society. One person to express the word “safe”, one to express “clean” and one figure to express “reliable”. Each figure carrying a Chinese word is varied with a figure with logo’s to make each subject more clear as a group. The applied symbols lend the surface of the many used steel plates for this sculpture a rough organic structure, representing the various figures as tough, dynamic but also flexible players in the field of their business activities. Their long legs show their importance as a player in both capacity and market.
