Hands Emerge From Venice’s Grand Canal

A pair of giant hands rising from the water have been unveiled on Venice’s Grand Canal — a sculpture by contemporary artist Lorenzo Quinn intended to highlight the devastation of climate change.

The artwork, titled Support, shows two huge hands emerging from the canal to “support” the historic Ca’ Sagredo Hotel in such a way that they appear to be preventing the 14th-century building from sinking into the water.
