Have you ever felt a presence, a silent guardian watching over you? As you stand in front of the På vakt Sculpture, you might just feel that – a sense of watchful protection. Located on Ribersborg, this granite sculpture by Jonas Fröding was created in 1959. The sculpture is dedicated to the memories of all those who tragically lost their lives in the waters surrounding Malmö. You may not realize this, but Ribersborg was a popular swimming destination in the early 20th century. The sculpture serves as a reminder of the dangers of the sea and a tribute to those who were taken too soon. The sculpture has a simple yet powerful design. It is a long, slender form with a slightly curved shape. The smooth surface of the granite reflects the sunlight beautifully, giving the sculpture a sense of peace and tranquility. Imagine the stories the sculpture could tell – of families enjoying a day by the water, of happy swimmers taking a dip in the sea, of sailors navigating the perilous waters. The På vakt Sculpture stands as a silent witness to these stories, a poignant reminder of the past and the dangers that still lurk beneath the waves. As you walk away, take a moment to reflect on the sculpture’s message and to remember those who have been lost at sea.
