The Oystercatcher is a large sculptural installation inspired by the coastal bird that lives along the edge of land and water. Suspended within the exhibition space, the bird appears to hover in a state between movement and stillness, its beak breaking an imagined water surface below.

The project takes the shoreline as its conceptual starting point. At the coast, surfaces constantly shift through tide, light and reflection. By translating the oystercatcher into an architectural scale, the work explores how natural figures can become spatial structures within an exhibition environment.

The sculpture combines rigid and inflatable elements. The body is formed as a structured core, while the wings unfold as a large inflatable surface that expands into the surrounding space. Together these elements create a floating figure that moves between animal, object and spatial form.
