A wish at Hvaleyrarvatn
The 'Wish Moment' water feature has been installed at Hvaleyrarvatn. The work is simple and at the same time elegant, designed to create a unique sight, joy and experience for those who visit the outdoor gem of Hvaleyrarvatn and its surroundings. The artwork is located at Sandvíkin, is connected to a street pipe and, until the first frost of the autumn, will spray water and create a rainbow on sunny days. The concept and execution are by the visual artist Guðmundur R. Lúðvíksson.
