1) She Changes - Aka The Anemone

If you visit Matosinhos, you may spot this huge and impressive fishing net-like sculpture, gently waving in the breeze. She Changes – locals have nicknamed it Anémona (The Anemone) – stands in the centre of the big roundabout by the beach, paying homage to the local fishermen. It was created by American artist Janet Echelman in 2005.
