Pillage of the Sea : permanent sculpture in the sea

Barba, Rosa LU (2021)
Abstract
In Ostend, Rosa Barba presents Pillage of the Sea, 2021, a permanent sculpture. Barba has anchored an outsized cairn on the beach, imitating stones by pouring concrete in textile. The textile makes one think of the form of sandbags, with which Barba creates a type of imaginary barrier against the future rise in the sea level. Each stone symbolizes a city, the fate of which is threatened by climate change. Over the years, Pillage of the Sea will be submerged by the waters.
