Herman Cruise Terminal Plaza at Pier 27. Located along the Embarcadero between Chestnut and Lombard streets, the sculpture serves as a welcoming gateway to the plaza and marks the first permanent archway installed along San Francisco’s waterfront. Mareas—Spanish for “tides”—captures the shifting light and color of San Francisco Bay, casting waves of blue across the plaza. Its fluid form and vibrant palette evoke the movement of water while contrasting with the surrounding skyline. Permanently sited at the pedestrian entrance south of the historic Beltline Building, the location was identified collaboratively by SFAC, the Port, and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission to welcome visitors arriving by foot, transit, or vehicle. Fabricated from steel and polycarbonate resin, the sculpture measures approximately 13 feet tall and 26 feet wide. The project was fabricated by One Hat One Hand with materials from 3Form Architectural Resin and Glass. With Mareas, SFAC and the Port continue their shared commitment to integrating contemporary public art into the waterfront, enhancing public space while fostering reflection, connection, and a deeper relationship to the Bay. ![(Image- Mareas, 2025, by Ana Teresa Fernández at Pier 27 Plaza.
