Important piece of the statue, which consists of three parts, which makes it not fall into the water, leaving bare knees.
Despite the good result obtained, the team of workers has had many problems to place the siren in the lake. The statue has been exposed on 1 August, but the crane was not able to stay afloat and was submerged for a while time. Fortunately, the sculpture was not damaged and is correctly placed on the following Tuesday.
