[edit | edit source]

In 2016 Felippe Moraes constructed his Monument to The Horizon (2016), a large-scale permanent public sculpture placed at Caminho Niemeyer in Niterói.[6][7] The work is a five-meter tall steel tower around a small set of stairs that lead to a strip in the metal, revealing the horizon of Rio de Janeiro on the opposite side of the Guanabara Bay.[6]
