People from various parts of the country came to see the unveiling of some truly amazing busts that took Viktor a little over six years to create.
Unfortunately Zale Perry, Stan Waterman, Ron and Valerie Taylor were not able to make it but they will surely love the placement of these picturesque granite busts at the Google location.
Men, women and children gathered around the sculptures as they were unveiled one by one. The anticipation sent shivers and gasps of excitement as the white sheets were lifted off. Some Google employees as well as the guests decided to partake in this event by walking leisurely by the artwork and taking pictures with the busts as well.
Many sincere thank you's go out to all the people that have believed, cared and understood Viktor's mission in fusing the world of art and love of the ocean together! There is not enough time, space and words to say how VUAM is incredibly touched for all your help!!
Here are just a few sample pictures from the unveiling...
