photo was inspired on a sculpture by Antonio Manuel Soares dos Reis, 1847-1889.
The sculpture was made to criticize the country, Portugal, in XIX century, and our work is for XXI.
Must pay atention all details.
Sculpture held in Rome in 1872 and completed in Porto in 1874.
The ark is filled with sea shells representing the sea!
