La Vikinga

In 2010, Eva Kullgren, a Swedish housewife, left Stockholm on a small sailboat, without electronic navigation instruments, like the ancient Vikings. She sailed through the Black Sea to the Mediterranean coasts and, upon reaching Cape Verde, she ventured into the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean. After 18 days she reached Brazil; but on her way back to the U.S.A., the sailboat suffered damages and the marine currents brought her to our shores of Dorado Beach. Those same currents brought us the tree from which this sculpture was created to honor our contemporary Viking Shipwreck.
