The statue was installed as part of the Karşıyaka municipality's efforts to revitalize the coastal aesthetic.
The location is colloquially known as one of the best vantage points to observe the sunset over the İzmir Gulf.
The statue’s design aesthetic aligns with the wider urban renewal projects of the Bostanlı coastline.
The Dolphins Statue is a prominent landmark located along the Bostanlı coastline in the Karşıyaka district of İzmir. It serves as a visual symbol of the area's connection to the Aegean Sea and the local marine wildlife. The sculpture features stylized depictions of dolphins leaping, crafted to capture movement and grace. It is positioned on the pedestrianized waterfront promenade, which is a focal point for local social activity. The surrounding park area is integrated into the city’s urban design to provide public space for recreation and relaxation by the water.
