Large sculpture of what I assumed was two gold balls. It intrigued me enough to research into the piece and discover a bit more about the history of Belfast and the meaning behind the structure. It's a shame it's in the middle of a roundabout and we could only see it driving by. It would have been nice to visit the sculpture properly had it been situated somewhere accessible.

Looks best at dark lit up, but impressive at different times of the day. I have the pleasure of seeing this every time I arrive in Belfast from the South, it represents two worlds, the past and the future. 'Rise' symbolises a new beginning, position near areas that would have been conflict zones, close to Royal Victoria hospital that would have treated most casualties of the troubles. There are three tall apartment buildings at its side which are very dilapidated, these housed all the nurses during thr troubles which obstructs the view to the mountains from where the artwork sits. The rise itself is simple, but very symbolic.
