Artisti: Anne Hemmi
Teoksen nimi: Fucus vesiculosus
Valmistunut: 2014
Osoite: Jarrumiehenkatu 7
Kuvaus: Hentoja merenpohjasta nousevia rakkohaurun leväoksia.

Rakkohauru eli aikaisemmalta nimeltään rakkolevä (Fucus vesiculosus) on 20–50 cm pitkä ruskoleviin kuuluva levälaji. Rakkohauru ei kasvia muistuttavasta ulkomuodostaan huolimatta kuulu kasvikuntaan. Sillä on nahkamainen, litteä, haaroittunut ja väriltään ruskeanvihreä sekovarsi, jossa on pareittain pulleita ilmarakkoja, joista levä on saanut suomenkielisen nimensä. Niiden tarkoitus on kannatella suhteellisen painavaa leväkasvustoa kohti valoa. Ilmarakkoja ei ole voimakkaasti aallokolle alttiilla paikoilla kasvavilla yksilöillä.

Fucus vesiculosus, known by the common names bladder wrack, black tang, rockweed, bladder fucus, sea oak, cut weed, dyers fucus, red fucus and rock wrack, is a seaweed found on the coasts of the North Sea, the western Baltic Sea and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
