Sculpture·Artistic, Coastal, Thoughtful
The Bird Skulptur am Hafen is a compelling piece of public art situated in the picturesque harbor of Neustadt in Holstein. Unveiled in 2015, the sculpture was created by Turkish artist Kemal Tufan and is meticulously carved from a collection of boulders to resemble a seagull. Beyond its visual appeal, the work carries deep symbolic weight; its base is inscribed with excerpts from Paul Éluard’s poem 'Liberté' using Turkish Braille. As an integral part of the Neustadt art trail, the sculpture invites passersby to pause and reflect while enjoying the maritime atmosphere. It stands as a testament to the city's commitment to integrating modern culture with its coastal heritage.
