The colossal creation celebrates the dam’s 50th anniversary, turning its wall into an eye-catching canvas that showcases the King of the Monsters.

Standing 40 meters tall and stretching 180 meters wide, the Godzilla image is brought to life through the clever use of cleaning techniques. The difference in color between the washed and unwashed sections of the dam wall makes the iconic figure of Godzilla emerge in stunning detail.
