Ammonite sculpture

sights

An ammonite (fossil shell) is made using copper pipes ,at its core lies a blue crystal, and when the sun rises its light passes through that crystal and colors the asphalt.
At sunset, the sun shines in the same way as in sunrise, making the Sea, where the light reflects, calm down.
There was, under the ammonite,a base with copper shapes of people, symbolizing the workers of the sea who empty their nets every day at the waterfront.
This section of the sculpture was unfortunately stolen.
