She Changes, Monument in Matosinhos e Leça da Palmeira, Portugal
The red and white netted sculpture rises from the ground in a circular formation, measuring several stories high against the coastal backdrop.
American artist Janet Echelman created this contemporary sculpture in 2005, drawing inspiration from the traditional fishing nets used in Matosinhos harbor.
The structure pays tribute to the maritime heritage of Matosinhos by incorporating designs from local octopus traps and fish transportation nets.
Located at Praça da Cidade do Salvador, the sculpture remains accessible throughout the day and can be viewed from multiple angles along the waterfront.
The structure changes its form with each gust of wind, creating different patterns as the lightweight netting material moves against the coastal breeze.
