Sian Watson
About the work
Waypoint reflects the contrast between our aspiration to fly and our inherent state of being grounded. Crafted from steel and concrete, this armless figure fuses human and bird. Inspired by aeroplane elements, the figure features rounded porthole windows and a painted wingspan down its body. This sculpture invites viewers to reflect on their own journey, contemplating the wait between earth and anticipated flight.
