Sculpture - Sea Cow

The environmental sculpture "Sea Cow" is located in Ventspils, near the Tirgoņu dārzs (Merchant's Garden), next to the Duke Jacob's berth. It is one of the life-size fiberglass figures from the international public art event "CowParade 2002" that has remained as a permanent exhibit in the city's landscape.

The sculpture was created by the Latvian artist Ieva Maurite. The concept portrays an ascetic figure with nothing superfluous, equipped only with the bare necessities for life in the water. Covered in silver and black tones with diving flippers on its hooves, the cow appears wet, as if it has just emerged from the sea.
