I sometimes wonder if this might be too busy, but I remember looking at the sky with its outrageous clouds, clouds a child might have drawn, and then the sun appeared from behind one of them. The sunburst provides some interest in the top left, which might otherwise have contributed little to the scene.
The brutalist office block contrasts strongly with both the clouds and the trees, while its shape is echoed by the raised flower beds around the sculpture, "The Face of Wigan". ("The Face of Wigan" is a 5.5-metre high stainless steel sculpture created by artist Rick Kirby, installed in 2008. It represents the community of Wigan rather than a single individual, reflecting the people and landscape around it.) The lone figure completes the scene, providing a perspective and sense of scale which would otherwise be lacking.
For me, this lone figure contributes much more. This is someone carrying her shopping, probably back to work at the end of her lunch break. The bags must be heavy because she leans forward into the slope, and this gives her a very slight stoop as though confirming the small hill is a slog. She also brings a sense of humanity into a sterile, unnatural environment - a reminder that this is supposed to be an area designed for people to enjoy.
Only the viewer can decide if the design succeeds, and this is a welcoming, friendly place.
