The Awakening, Maryland National Harbor
Maryland National Harbor is home to an impressive and frightening statue called The Awakening. This 72-foot statue was created by J. Seward Johnson Jr. and depicts a giant embedded in the sand who is struggling to free himself. Occasionally, when the harbor experiences high tides, the statue becomes almost entirely submerged. It’s a frightening perspective on how people feel when they’re awakened to their current reality, and the statue looks particularly disturbing when it’s partially submerged in the water.
