Titanica is a sculpture by Irish artist Rowan Gillespie. It takes the form of a diving female figure.
The figure is mounted atop a slender base, and takes its inspiration from the traditional female ship figureheads mounted on the prows of sailing ships.
The sculpture represents “hope and positivity”. Cast in bronze, “Titanica” is a life-size figure and weighs three-quarters of a ton.
