Weighing 2.2 tonnes and costing $95,000 to install after two years of fundraising, its theft shattered hopes and left an empty plinth as a daily reminder of loss. But now, with the blessing of Summers’ partner, a new version is being crafted in concrete with bronze powder finish by local studio Unfound Creations, honoring the artist’s legacy. A suspect remains in custody, but the community’s spirit is rising — and you can help bring back “Flight” at givealittle.co.nz/cause/bring-back-flight.
