What a mermaid!
Kollam Mayor Sabida Beegum will be launching this new work of public sculpture in Kollam, in the Malabar Coast, province of Kerala. Not just a mermaid, but a giant mermaid who "sports a melancholic look for she was cursed and sent to live on land for having fallen in love with a sailor". Certainly she'll be visible from far out to sea! commissioned by tourism development officials, the sculpture will be launched by the Kerala Minister of Tourism K.C. Venugopal. The work was begun by sculptor Shantanu but after some financial difficulties it was handed over to Vijayan V. Chavara.
What a strange and melancholic expression.Technorati Tags: public art, sculpture
