The Anemone or "She Changes" is a public-art installation that was designed by American artist…read moreJanet Echelman in 2005 for the cities of Porto and Matosinhos. According to the city's website, this artwork consists of a steel ring, poles, cable, and a fiber net, and it has a diameter of 42 meters. The design looks like a net and honors the city's history of fishing and industry. I saw this artwork when I was on vacation. It looked huge, and it slightly moved and changed color as the wind blew. It was not the most stunning piece of art, but it was interesting to look at for a minute.

The structure resembles a net at certain angles, a love letter to the town's fishing culture. The support beams are striped red and white to evoke Porto's industrial past.

This makes it a super neat piece of art that can mean different things to each viewer, which to me is the best kind of art. You definitely can't miss this gigantic piece of public art in Porto, but don't just take a passing glance - really sit and watch this breathing, living structure do its thing!
