Kaysa, Bronze sculpture in Sellin, Germany.
Kaysa is a 168 cm bronze sculpture by Thomas Jastram, created in 2014. It depicts a nude young woman wringing out her braid and stands on a glacial erratic in the Baltic Sea, directly off the south beach of Sellin.
Kaysa was made in 2014 by the sculptor Thomas Jastram, who teaches at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Dresden. The bronze was placed on a glacial erratic boulder lying in the Baltic Sea just off Sellin's south beach, so the figure stands directly in the water rather than on land.
The bronze figure depicts a young woman wringing out her braided hair, a scene drawn from the beach at Sellin's southern shore where the sculpture stands on a boulder in the Baltic Sea. Thomas Jastram made the work in 2014, and the gesture ties it to the bathing culture of this seaside resort.
The figure stands on a rock in the sea and can be viewed from the beach promenade, especially in good weather. During high tide or poor conditions, the view may be limited, so visiting at low tide is recommended.
The bronze figure stands on a glacial erratic boulder in the Baltic Sea, just off Sellin's south beach. Because the sculpture is 168 cm tall and set directly in the water, its silhouette changes with the tide and light, and it can only be reached by wading or viewed from the shore.
