Pretty sculpture. Sparkles on the sun. It rotates with the water at first I thought I was seeing things.

A szobor Monica Bonvicini alkotása, mellyel 2007-ben nemzetközi versenyt nyert, az Operaház előtt lebeg a vízen. Rozsdamentes acélból és üvegből készült. Messziről látható 12 méter magas. Érdekessége, hogy a tengelye körül tud forogni az árapály és a szél segítségével. Kialakításánál és anyagánál fogva szépen láthatók rajta a nap és fények játéka. A szobor jéghegyet formáz és Caspar David Friedrich Jégtenger című festménye ihlette.

Curiosa escultura flotante frente a la ópera creada en 2010 por la artista Monica Bonvicini. Si vais a esa zona del puerto o la ópera sin duda la veréis.
