‘Yoga Pose’, a clay figure cast in bronze, by longtime Byron artist Laila Bell was unveiled in Jonson Lane mall (Browning Street and Jonson Street roundabout) last Friday.
‘For me, this work is about resilience, about finding balance when life feels uncertain, and trusting that even when we are turned upside down, we can remain supported,’ said Lila.
‘I love that she now lives here among greenery, stone, and filtered light. My hope is that those who pass her might pause, even briefly. To breathe. To soften. And perhaps to see the world from another angle.’
