Water's Soul is a monumental waterfront sculpture in Newport, Jersey City, created by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa. Facing the Hudson River and the New York City skyline, the bright white figure of a woman with closed eyes and a finger to her lips evokes silence, contemplation, and inward reflection. Conceived as a visual link across the water between Jersey City and New York, it also reflects the idea of water as shared public space connecting communities. Made in Barcelona from polyester resin, fiberglass, and marble dust, then shipped to Jersey City, it has become a major public artwork and a prominent local landmark.
