Guided Story
Take a closer look at that pothole right there. Do you see the golden fish emerging from the asphalt? It's as if it's leaping out of the ground, isn't it? This sculpture by Maren Dörwaldt has a unique mission: to remind you to find the extraordinary in the everyday. Think about the last puddle you passed by. Who knows, maybe it was hiding a little wonder too. Just south of here, you'll find Villa Magnolia. And as you gaze at the fish, consider how often you walk by things without truly noticing them. That's exactly what this golden fish wants you to realize.
