Módulo Sícera, Glass sculpture in Gijón, Spain
The Módulo Sícera is a transparent glass structure in Gijón that reflects sunlight and creates shifting patterns throughout the day. Its design allows visitors to observe the interplay between the material and natural light from multiple viewpoints.
Installed in 2013, this work represents a contemporary addition to Gijón's public art collection. It reflects the city's evolution toward integrating modern artworks within the urban environment.
The name Sícera comes from an ancient Latin word for cider, honoring Asturias' traditional drink that remains central to local identity. This beverage continues to shape how residents celebrate and gather together.
The sculpture is located in an accessible area of the city and can be viewed from multiple positions. Visitors can observe it at any time of day to experience how changing light affects the glass surface.
The glass takes on a completely different appearance depending on weather conditions, creating distinct visual effects during rain, sun, or clouds. This makes each visit offer a different optical experience.
