"Commissioned by Dundee City Council through a design competition held in 2019. Made of stainless steel hollow tubes, it has 2,457 individual parts. (...) Made at Littlehampton Welding then transported up the North Sea by barge to Dundee. Speakers nearby play whalesong and other ambient sounds and there are also interactive video games by Abertay University staff and students."

A large sculpture in the newly redeveloped waterfront. There is seating nearby to enjoy the views. The sculpture is much bigger than expected.
