OPHELIA
Once known as ‘the face of Melbourne,’ Ophelia by Deborah Halpern was inspired by the character from Hamlet, full of both love and sadness.
Halpern says Ophelia is the cousin of Angel, the sculpture that adorned the moat of the National Gallery of Victoria for nearly 20 years and now lives upstream at Birrarung Marr. Together they bring life and humanity to the river.
