Funny sculpture

I want to share this picture with everyone because I thought it was funny how the hands are positioned in such a way that it looks like there is a giant living in the water. I am sure that's also the artist's intent when he sculpted this, and it made me realize that art also have a humorous and goofy side to it. The artist probably wanted the tourists to stop by and look at the giant hands, or maybe he wanted to scare little kids by making them think there is a monster in the water. But whatever the artist's intent might be, this sculpture will definitely get the attention of wandering onlookers.

  2. This is a very interesting sculpture, it is indeed a creative and humorous example of public art. This sculpture reminds me of the sculptures people put on trees to make it look like the tree has a face.
