The artwork was named Serpent d'Océan. It is an exceptional metal sculpture located on the beach in the French town of Saint-Brevin-les-Pins, on the edge of the Loire estuary, which connects to the Atlantic Ocean. Serpent d'Océan belongs to the contemporary art school.

The Serpent d'Océan is made entirely of aluminum. It is a 130-meter-long skeleton that appears to emerge from the ocean in a terrifying fashion.

Its sinuous movement of the vertebrae creates the illusion of a creature as it moves across the ocean floor. However, the Serpent d'Océan only appears and disappears to the rhythm of the tides.

Looking down from a height, many witnesses can see the snake cruising on the water, appearing lively. Not only do people satisfy their need for enjoyment, but they are also amazed by its sophistication.
