RÁFAGA UNLEASHED como idea, nació de la simbiosis de los diversos elementos que dan 
vida y caracterizan la bahía de la ciudad de Hamilton, localizada a 45min al sud-oeste de 
Toronto.

Metalúrgia y navegación, la  vida intensa de una ciudad en expansión en busca de un 
reencuentro entre el fluir orgánico de la naturaleza  y la complejidad y precisión 
geométrica del hombre.

El lugar destinado para la propuesta tenia la fuerza del agua el cielo y la tierra y desataba 
el poder de la imaginación.con una intensidad de vértigo.

Dos figuras de bronce, un hombre y una mujer, juntos, en un intento de contener la fuerza 
in crescendo, el impulso indomable de una fuerza proyectada al infinito o quiza el dorso 
de una ballena una espina dorsal o el mástil de un velero soplando al viento.
.
Ráfaga-Unleashed , fue concebida con la crencia de que solo mediante la fusión de la 
figuración y la abstracción, la tradición  con las tendencias   contemporáneas.hubieramos 
podido crear una escultura que hallara sus orígenes en el pasado para proyectarse en el 
presente y luego  ir mas allá, sin limites hacia el futuro de la humanidad .

MATERIALES
La pieza es una combinación , no solo de ideas  y formas, sino también  de materiales.  
Acero inoxidable y bronce fueron  seleccionados, no solo por sus cualidades estéticas sino 
también por su durabilidad  y su capacidad de refractar la luz desde grandes distancias, 
convirtiéndose en un punto de referencia tanto para la navegación como para los 
ciudadanos de Hamilton y el turismo.

El gran reto lo suponía el crear una escultura en sintonía con los nuevos elementos 
arquitectónicos.  The new Marine Life Discovery Center of Canada, con su moderna 
arquitectura y las ondulaciones del terreno ajardinado que insinuan las corrientes marinas.  
Ráfaga -Unleashed con su estructura de 5 toneladas de acero inoxidable, se eleva a una 
altura de 16 metros, al pie del lago Ontario, y junto con los elementos arquitectónicos y la 
belleza del paisaje, el espectador se ve inmerso en una danza de luz y formas; la epifania 
del hombre y la naturaleza en communion.


Nuestro deseo es que aquellos que se encuentren con la obra sean arrebatados por un 
sentimiento de posibilidad y de futuro, que despierte la curiosidad y el deseo de buscar 
mas allá, que encuentren en su presencia un lugar para hacer una pausa y reflexionar o 
contemplar, simplemente.  Que sientan en su esencia un sentimiento renovado de lo que 
significa ser humano en un mundo sobrehumano.

Hyack Square, New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada  -

A Sculpture based on the famous photo, Wait for Me, Daddy, by 
Detloff, taken as Canadian Soldiers marched of to War., an image 
which became iconic for Canada, as well as nations abroad.  The 
Sculpture combines historical and contemporary elements to unite 
the historical Hyack Square and the Historic District of 
NewWestminster with the new Contemporary Anvil Centre across 
the way.  Lighting Element incorporated directly into the work 
changes hues over the evening hours.  The work which addresses  
all generations.  Contrary to other WW2 Monuments, this works 
highlights the difficulties felt by the families, faced with lengthy 
separation, and the not knowing of what the future holds...at the 
same time the work is one of hope.    With the stainless steel 
portions  executed through our Canadian Studio, and the bronze 
figurative portions being created through our studio in Europe, it 
seemed somewhat poetic that the soldiers could finally come 
home. --  Dam de Nogales -  2014

International Artists Veronica and Edwin Dam de Nogales are creating a large scale work of art in response to Illegal Wildlife Trafficking towards the goal of being placed temporarily in the streets of London in October of 2018. With the model already executed, the work is an emotional appeal to re-connect the human-animal bond on a global scale. But it is also a work which changes from a call to tenderness to a work drenched in a sense of mourning and of loss.

For 9 days it would deal with the tender balance and understanding we must aim for with wildlife, and with the acceptance of the responsibility that comes with it. Then for one day, we will be faced with the reality, and the sense of loss and absence. Our hope is that others too might be moved to help combat the horrific loss of wild life occurring on a daily basis, and that this emotional appeal will lead to decisive action.

One of three sister works. One is privately owned but placed on for public viewing in Urus, Spain. The second is a living fountain sculpture of stainless steel, bronze, and stone, at the Entrance to Mickel Park, Ridgetown, Ontario. The third is yet to be commissioned.

All echo the spirit of nature with their own voices and forms.
