The urchin of art in the city

A gigantic sea urchin test (the test is the “skeleton” of the sea urchin) is installed at Rauba Capeu, in place of the famous I Love Nice. The structure stands out beautifully against the backdrop of the city or the Mediterranean. Composed of a galvanized steel structure, it is clad in crochet and braided mesh, giving it quite the appearance of sea urchin tests.

But if you look closely, you’ll discover marine elements: stars, ship’s bars, sextants and why not satellites so useful for navigation.
