" Maria Fernanda Cardoso is fascinated by the ways in which geometry is manifested in living things. Inspired by the diversity of pollen grains found in the environmental report on the pollen history of the site, Cardoso’s work is a series of sandstone sculptures along The Boulevard. Through her sculpture series, Cardoso hopes the public will learn that each grain of pollen is uniquely shaped and discover the history of Darling Harbour and Cockle Bay ".
