Amphitrite, the wave and the sea birds, Stainless steel sculpture in Porsgrunn, Norway.
The sculpture features a female figure representing Amphitrite alongside two seabirds gliding over a large geometric wave, reaching 4 meters in height.
The sculpture emerged from a 1977 municipal competition, with Jørleif Uthaug's design selected for installation at Nordentorget square in Porsgrunn.
The artwork incorporates Greek mythology by depicting Amphitrite, wife of Neptune, through modern Norwegian sculptural techniques and materials.
Located at coordinates 59.139722, 9.651111, the sculpture stands along Strandpromenaden, a riverwalk on the eastern bank of Porsgrunn River.
Engineer Einar Aurskog and Hamy Sveis AS in Oslo managed the steel wave production while Uthaug created the figurative elements after recovering from paralysis.
