Men by the Sea

Unveiled in 1995, the Men on the Sea memorial is the work of the Quadruple Sculpture Team and is widely known as an interesting piece of art, a tribute to man's contemplative nature. The monument consists of statues of tall men sitting observing the sea, which are pure white statues completely devoid of decorations, allowing visitors to map their contemplative thoughts on the figures, and their own destinations through the faces that the statues stare at. The colossal figures, 27 feet high, refer to sculptures of the Roman giant and Egyptian pharaoh in equal measure.
