If you've been to St. John's International Airport recently, you might've noticed a stunning new "seaworthy" sculpture by local artist Vince Jones.

The 6 ft. tall piece, titled "Below the Blue," is made of salvaged pine that curves and bends to emulate the movement of ocean wind and waves, with hand-carved cod, capelin, squid, jellyfish and other sea creatures swimming around the circumference.
