This kinetic-looking sculpture by Durk van der Ploeg is composed entirely of parts from an old typewriter. The delicate, birdlike figure seems to rise mid-motion, with letters forming the wings and limbs. Ingenious and poetic, the work transforms mechanical remnants into expressive, organic life. A brilliant conversation piece — both nostalgic and forward-looking.
