Transocean Commission, it was an honor


Recently we were given the honor of working on a project for Transocean. When the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded in April, 11 Transocean employees lost their lives. Off The Wall was asked to create a unique piece honoring these men and the work that they did. Eleven bronze hard hats were designed and crafted, one for each family.

These pieces were recently used at the memorial service honoring the victims of this tragedy.


To the Transocean Families,

We at Off the Wall Gallery want to express our most profound pride and humility at having been chosen to be a part of the effort to pay tribute to those who lost their lives on that fateful day, April 20th, 2010, off the coast of Louisiana. We hope that this tribute in bronze in some way helps family and friends to honor their lost fathers, sons and co-workers. Our heartfelt prayers are with you all.

Sincerely,
Mimi Sperber-Wasserberg
President
