It is made out of steel and glass panels, and checks in at 39 feet by 56 feet. This piece of art was created by Monica Bonvicini. One of the interesting parts if that is designed to look as if it is adrift in the water in the harbor. Actually, there is a tether to the bottom, so that it merely drifts. That was, the piece of art offers different views depending on the conditions and time or day.
I have read that this was designed to be a three-dimensional version of a painting called "The Sea of Ice" by David Friedrich. Honestly, to me it looks more like an industrial accident that it waiting to be cleaned up. The title was designed to be ambiguous, and Monica certainly succeeded in that goal. One person suggests that it means "She lies ... in different places in the harbor." Hmm.
Still, I always enjoy public art, and this serves as a good conversation piece.
