Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen (Porto, 1919 – Lisbon, 2004) is one of the highest voices of the European twentieth century. The first woman to win the prestigious Camões Prize (1999), her poetry combines the light of the Mediterranean, classical myth, love for the sea, and a rigorous civil commitment against the dictatorship.

This tribute is a public art piece in corten steel titled "Voa", developed after a challenge launched by the municipality. The Concept: The sculpture cuts out the silhouettes, in positive and negative, of a flock of swallows in full flight. They appear united with each other, conveying a strong idea of freedom and ascent towards the sky. The Link to the Poetess: The piece was specifically designed to integrate a poem by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen focused on the values of freedom and justice, making the perfect counterpoint to the Court building located there. The choice of location and poem evokes Sophia's famous thought, so often cited in Ponte de Sor: "We see, we hear and we read, we cannot ignore".

It is located in the Riverside and intends to serve the people who live in the left riverside and need to go to the city center. Despite being pedestrian, its structure also allows it to be crossed by bicycles and motorcycles (driven by hand). It has a unique aesthetic and innovative engineering, presenting a tubular structure, without pillars or supports. At night, the lighting interacts with the people, changing colors as they pass. NOTE: The pedestrian bridge is integrated in PR1, but on the inauguration plaque, it is like a “sculpture bridge”, thus being integrated in the urban art guide.
