Head down around the southernmost spot on the African continent, and you’ll find an atmospheric shipwreck waiting just off the shore. The surviving fragment of the doomed vessel rusts atop the rocks, where it’s constantly battered by the wind and waves.
The monument has a circumference of 30 metres and includes the shape of the continent and the design elements of a compass. Its scale is impressive and its design timeless. Visitors are encouraged to walk around and through the structure; using this opportunity to reflect on and embrace how tiny humans are in relation to these two oceans; yet how we co-exist without competition.
