Eco sculpture, Co. Antrim - out of place at first glance

Sitting right outside Queen’s University Belfast’s McClay Library, this odd-looking statue was created by Frenchman Marc Didou to mark the centenary of Queen’s University. It was decided to put a speaker inside, with the sounds of water flowing, to encourage reflection as people walk past.

Vomiting Fountain Sculpture

It is located in England, the South Bang in Central London. It is part of "The Big Giving". "The Big Give" is a charitable website that supports charity projects. Made by artist Klaus Weber. It is one of the strangest sculptures in London. The "body" is made of stone. On the top, there is a human head. There are many statues like this around. Water comes out of theirs heads. Some of them are crying and some of them have water coming out of their mouths.

This is shark Haining, located in Oxford UK. It is a 7-meter-sized large shark with a built-in head first in the roof of a house. It was built on August 9, 40 years ago. Bill Heine is the owner of this house and states that this shark expresses feelings of anger and despair. The work falls into the category of boldly pacifist, conceptual art in everyday life.
