“Kicker Kid” represents a child looking at a soccer ball through his legs and trying to kick it. Two windmills mounted on a bicycle fork are atop the sculpture and the soccer player is below. The two legs of the child will rotate left and right as the windmills catch the wind, causing the soccer shoes to kick the hanging soccer ball in the middle. The usual variations in wind speed will keep the windmills and legs in motion. And since the windmills spin in the lightest breeze, some motion will be visible most of the time.
