Affectionately dubbed “Ping Pong” by the Reynolds (a nickname he shares with the sculpture), the baby is both gender neutral and culturally ambiguous, making it the world’s most potentially relatable blow-up baby, as well as the biggest.
“I wanted it to not be white, not be black, not be female, not be male -- just be as inclusive as possible, so everybody can relate to it,” he told SBS.
The artist created the work by transferring a digital rendering onto polyester. But it’s the bystander’s who’re actually upside down, the artist said, adding that he wanted to turn the world on its head, saying “the baby is actually on the ground, and people just become active players for the baby's amusement.”

With the baby installed, the Atrium resembles a giant play pen, lit up at night by the baby-cum-lantern itself.
Interacting with the artwork isn’t just a cool Instagram opportunity or an excuse to do the “baby dance” either. It could also be a somewhat religious experience.
“I drew from Michelangelo's 'Creation of Adam', so the part of the mural from the Sistine Chapel, where God creates Adam, said Reynolds adding “I've used the same pose as Adam, in the sculpture. So when you come up to it, you play the part of God.”
