He uses marine cement to make a range that includes ocean life.
Ocean Siren
Ocean Siren is an undersea arts museum that opened recently in Townsville, Australia. It looks like a woman emerges from the ocean while holding a shell. Takoda John, a Wulgurukaba person, was the inspiration for the sculpture. The sculpture uses color-changing LED light that changes colors depending on the temperature. Visitors can identify the different colors of the sculpture at night by looking at data collected from the Great Barrier Reef weather station.
Ocean Siren is a statue that was modeled after a young Wulgurukaba Girl.
Ocean Siren, an interactive statue, can be found just beyond Townsville's Strand Jetty. It was made to represent the ocean and to inspire conservation. The statue stands 12 feet tall and is 16 feet wide. Its colors change to reflect the ocean temperature. This statue was created in collaboration with scientists and local indigenous people.
Ocean Siren changes its color depending on the water temperature
The Ocean Siren sculpture in Townsville, Australia has a message from scuba divers. It is a landmark. DeCaires Taylor, an Australian sculptor, created it. It changes its color depending on the temperature of the surrounding reef. Johnson is part of the Wulgurukaba indigenous people who are the traditional owners the local land. The 16-foot-tall sculpture was powered by solar panels, and is a warning for people about the rising sea temperature. This installation could help to restore coral reefs destroyed by climate change.
