A key inspiration for Mark&#8217;s new project was the poem &#8216;Ambition is Critical&#8217; by Dave Hughes and he presents four banners each containing a rough translation of the phrase \u2018Ambition is critical\u2019, in the languages of Swansea\u2019s current twin-towns. The translations have been done using an internet translation engine, a tool as likely to confuse communication as it is to aid it. As a statement and sentiment \u2018Ambition is critical\u2019 is both honest and ambiguous.<br \/> <br \/>\nA broader context is leant by the site of the bus station, a point of departure or arrival; the first stop in a bold leap into the unknown or the place to greet a friendly stranger.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n[\/lang_en]<\/p>\n<p>[lang_cy]<br \/>\n<strong>Ambition Is Critical<\/strong><br \/>\nGorsaf Fysus Dinas<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/artworks\/gubb\/gubb5.jpg\" alt=\"gubb\" title=\"gubb\" width=\"510\" height=\"344\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-530\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/artworks\/gubb\/gubb4.jpg\" alt=\"gubb\" title=\"gubb\" width=\"510\" height=\"344\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-530\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/artworks\/gubb\/gubb3.jpg\" alt=\"gubb\" title=\"gubb\" width=\"510\" height=\"344\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-530\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/artworks\/gubb\/gubb6.jpg\" alt=\"gubb\" title=\"gubb\" width=\"510\" height=\"344\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-530\" \/><br \/>\nMae gwaith S Mark Gubb yn tarddu o ddidordeb mewn testun, iaith, cyfieithiad, (cam)gyfathrebu, hunaniaeth- diwylliannol, gwybodaeth torfol a gofodau trothwyol. Ar gyfer y gwaith newydd hwn, mae e\u2019n cyflwyno pedwar baner, pob un yn cynnwys cyfieithiad bras o\u2019r ymadrodd, \u2018Ambition is Critical\u2019, yn nwy iaith gyfeilldrefau presennol Abertawe.
