Information Sign

From the Mareseum information sign:

La escultura está compuesta por siete piedras de basalto que simbolizan cada una de las islas principales del Archipiélago Canario. Las piedras están comunicadas por elementos que a modo de remos nacen de una gran nave suspendida en el aire. Un barco cuyas velas tienen forma de un reloj de arena similar a las montañas volcánicas, un medidor de tiempo que nos remonta al origen mismo del Archipiélago.

This sculpture consists of seven basalt stones that represent each one of the Canary lslands. The stones are joined by elements emulating oars that emerge from a great vessel suspended in the air. The sails are in the shape of an hourglass similar to the volcanic mountains: a timing device that takes us back to the very origin of the archipelago.

Die Skulptur besteht aus sieben Basaltsteinen, die für die Hauptinseln des Kanarischen Archipels stehen. Die Steine sind mit Elementen verbunden, die wie Ruder aus einem großen, in der Luft schwebenden Schiff entspringen. Ein Schiff, dessen Segel die Form einer Sanduhr aufweisen und an Vulkanberge erinnern – ein Zeitmesser, der auf den Ursprung des Archipels zurückgeht.
