Sculpture of the sails in Alexandria, Contemporary sculpture in Alexandria, Egypt.
The white sails sculpture stands near the Mediterranean Sea, featuring geometric shapes that create an illusion of movement through curved surfaces and angular forms.
Egyptian artist Fathi Mahmud, who established the Egyptian German Porcelain Company in 1942, designed this maritime-inspired monument in Alexandria's waterfront area.
The sculpture represents Alexandria's connection to maritime traditions while incorporating modern artistic elements that showcase Egyptian contemporary art development.
Visitors can access the sculpture by following the Corniche road along Alexandria's waterfront, where parking spaces are available nearby.
The monument combines industrial materials with artistic expression, creating varying visual effects as sunlight interacts with its white surfaces throughout the day.
