JAS Spain recently had the opportunity to partner once again with renowned Spanish artist Cristobal Gabarrón in moving the sculpture set Enlightened Universe on time and in perfect shape for its central role in celebrating the United Nations 77th Anniversary in Valletta, Malta.
The sculpture set was sent under tight delivery deadlines from Spain to Malta via sea. It was then delivered to St. George's Square (Pjazza San Gorg) in the heart of Valletta, Malta. The sculpture was then mounted and exhibited. Those attending the opening ceremony included Owen Bonnici, Malta Minister of Culture; Ian Borg, Minister of Foreign Affairs; Clayton Bartolo, Minister of Tourism; and the artist himself, Mr. Cristobal Gabarrón.
Enlightened Universe, an interactive sculpture, was originally created by Gabarrón in 2015 to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the United Nations. The stainless-steel sculpture is made up of a 20-foot sphere surrounded by a spiral of 70 life-size figures holding hands. In total, the sculpture weighs 24 tons, and the up to 6’5” figures represent the world’s diversity and together honor the United Nations’ core values.

JAS Projects and JAS Sweden are proud to share an exciting achievement in heavy transport, executed deep in northern Sweden near the Polar Circle. This unique project involves the movement of oversized cargo through challenging winter conditions, where temperatures plummet as low as minus 15 degrees Celsius.
The cargos dimensions are impressive:
Transporting such massive loads requires meticulous planning, technical expertise, and flawless teamwork—all of which were on full display as our team worked tirelessly to ensure safe and efficient delivery through the icy terrain.
Luiz Dos Santos, Project Coordinator at JAS Projects, accompanied the operation and shared his firsthand experience. For Luiz, this was his first opportunity to be on-site for a heavy-lift transport, and it proved to be both thrilling and educational:
"A thrilling mission in the far north. I accompanied the heavy transport from start to finish through the icy winter landscape of northern Sweden. It was an extraordinary and impressive experience to see the required precision and flawless teamwork with my own eyes. The execution, as well as the planning, are significantly more complex than they often appear from the desk. So, it was all the more helpful to have experienced the entire process firsthand."
This operation is a testament to the team's commitment to excellence, even in extreme environments. From intricate planning to navigating unpredictable Arctic conditions, the success of this transport highlights our ability to deliver solutions tailored to every challenge.
