The sculpture 'Mother Earth I' is a showpiece by the Kortrijk artist Ann Deman and is located on the Leiesteiger near the town hall. The connection with the earth is nowhere more explicitly discussed than in the theme.

The bronze statue ‘Mother Earth I’ by Kortrijk artist Ann Deman has been sensually situated on the banks of the Latemse Leie for over 12 years. It symbolises motherhood, fertility and connection with the earth. Earlier this year, it was removed for restoration because it was frequently climbed on, which left its mark. The municipality is now going to purchase the work of art for 134,000 euros. “The statue has now become part of the place, widely known and a clear marker on the site,” says alderman Pieter Vanderheyden (Welfare).
