The upscaled figure of a bird was carved out of the cuboid form; his head is lowered so that the long, pointed beak reaches the base of the sculpture. Above the head, the shape turns into raised wings in the form of bevelled cones joined at the top. The multi-axis sculptural composition is rather static, with a delicate hint of dynamics added through curved lines and openings that give lightness to the massive form. The figure\u2019s surface is smooth and bright; the shapes are clearly oblong. The piece was originally carved in wood and acquired by the National Museum in Gda\u0144sk in 1974. In 1976, the wooden sculpture served as a model to create this version, cast in a synthetic material, which now forms part of the open-air sculpture gallery at the Oliwa Park. <em>Bird<\/em> was set on a 57 cm high granite plinth measuring 90 \u00d7 90 cm at the base.
