The Burnside Nest, Public sculpture at Northeast 3rd Avenue near Burnside Bridge, Portland, United States.

The spherical structure measures 30 feet high and incorporates branches collected from various locations throughout Portland, forming a large nest shape.

Swedish artist Hannes Wingate created this temporary outdoor installation in 2014, positioning it near the Burnside Skatepark on private property.

The sculpture represents the connection between urban and natural environments by combining gathered branches with manufactured materials like street signs and furniture parts.

Located north of the Burnside Bridge's east side at Northeast 3rd Avenue and Couch Street, the structure remained until late July 2014.

Five individuals entered the nest during its preview event, although the structure was designed solely as an artistic installation rather than an interactive piece.
