Standing 80 feet tall in the historic Hudson River area, Water’s Soul by Jaume Plensa is a sight you don’t want to miss in Jersey City. The sculpture is constructed from resin, fiberglass, and marble dust. The best part? This beautiful installment is a short walk away from Newport luxury apartments.

Discover Water’s Soul Sculpture in Jersey City

Water’s Soul is at 25 Park Lane South, along the Ellipse Pier. Residents of Newport are just 10 minutes away from the pristine white sculpture. The eye-catching work of art portrays a woman with a finger pressed to her lips. It pays homage to the Hudson River and the surrounding waterfronts.

Sculptor James Plensa uses water as inspiration for his work. Plensa believes water drops are like individuals. A water drop might not do much on its own, but many come together to form a tidal wave. Similarly, individual people are stronger when they unite to create a community. There’s much debate among locals about why the statue has her finger to her lips. Plensa confirms the design encourages quiet reflection.

Water’s Soul serves as an iconic landmark for Newport, visually connecting the neighborhood with New York City. The installation was unveiled on October 21, 2021. It is the first public art installation by an international artist to be displayed in this neighborhood.
