#Love Forever

NANJING, CHINA

In the heart of Nanjing's first eco-commercial hub, a powerful symbol of unity and love now stands as a testament to human connection. The Nanjing China Merchants development, built around the innovative REvalue concept, has become home to LOVE FOREVER, a stunning 7-meter sculpture created by renowned Australian artist Jeremyville. This groundbreaking project spans 140,000 square meters and represents Nanjing's first combined Park-Oriented Development and Transit-Oriented Development, blending natural sustainability with cultural innovation.

The sculpture itself tells a profound story of love and connection through the past, present, and future. Three characters hug to form a single heart, with one grandparent, one parent, and one child united. The figure captures a spontaneous moment of affection with their raised legs suggesting sudden movement.

"When we come together, we are stronger, forming one giant, powerful heart that pumps the lifeblood of love around the world. We beat as one, in rhythm, forever," said Jeremyville.

Beyond its artistic beauty, LOVE FOREVER serves as an invitation to the community. The sculpture invites visitors to participate in a universal embrace, allowing them to create their own moments of connection and shared joy. This interactive element highlights inclusiveness and community spirit.

The technical achievement behind the art is equally remarkable. Crafted from premium 316L stainless steel through intense hand-forging by artisans, the sculpture is made from over 150 square meters of steel plates shaped through countless strikes. UAP's innovative 4-axis milling system allowed for translation of the digital designs into reality, while the final museum-grade finish was done in cleanroom conditions, balancing the perfect blend of art and engineering.
