The 60 foot (18 meter) tall sculpture almost vanished into the clutter of the city behind it. This is how the Sea Change sculpture appeared when approached from the north along the Embarcadero with the Ballpark behind it.

When backlit by the afternoon sun, the sculpture appeared monstrously huge and threatening.

The stainless steel ring represented the sea. It rocked when the wind blew and created the illusion of water moving. The part of the sculpture that rose above the ring had the appearance of an ocean buoy.

The Sea Change sculpture when viewed from the south looking north toward the San Francisco / Oakland Bay Bridge behind it.

A closeup of the top showed the two stainless steel bands. The larger lower one rocked in the wind. The upper band rotated along with the wings on top. These formed a wind vane that always aligned with the wind.

One of the two rocker mechanisms for the lower stainless steel wing. Note the cables used to restrain the lower ring so it does not rock too far in high winds.

The view inside looking straight up from the lawn. The legs formed a four-sided pyramid that met at the top.

The legs of this sculpture formed a forest at human height below. Although technically these legs were supposed to represent pilings under water.

Each leg appeared to be stood directly on the grass. More likely, the legs were rested on concrete slabs just below the level of the grass.

Each leg was formed of a long steel I-Beam. Run half way up both sides of each leg was a sheet of stainless steel to mask the hole on each side of the I-Beam. Near the base of each stainless steel plate was a number. This one was number two.

The view looking up the number four leg. Notice how the stainless steel run up each leg reflects the rings above.

When seen from the bottom of the ballpark, the sculpture appeared a bit small. But this angle showed pier 40 behind it.
