The sculpture had originally been installed in 2022 near the Seaford Library and had only just been re-located to Keast Park. A plaque describes the sculpture as representing An image of human behaviour where dramatic situations often occur and which can be both tragic and comical.
Keld Moseholm (1936-2023) was a Danish sculptor and was known for his rounded figurative sculptures that balance humor and gravity, portraying humanity as small spheres in a larger game.

The sad remains

The City of Frankston's Facebook post on this theft notes that the remains of the sculpture have been removed while investigations are underway. They also state that Public art belongs to all of us and one of the comments on this Facebook post confirms this idea of public ownership - When this sculpture was at Seaford Library a lot of little kids would hug the sculpture. No judgement just hugs.
Sadly this is just another example of a delightful, well loved sculpture being maliciously stolen from the community.
