«WIND-EYE» (2014)
0
Did you know that the word “window” comes from the Old Norse words vind, wind, and auga, eyes, – literally meaning “the eye of the wind”? The sculpture Wind-Eye was created by Calina Pandele Yttredal in 2014. Yttredal is a multidisciplinary artist with an academic background from both Norway and abroad. Her work often blends traditional techniques with modern technology – frequently using iridescent light. This sculpture was made especially for Tranøy and is inspired by nature, Indigenous culture, and the history of lighthouses and maritime pilots. It was unveiled on August 28, 2014, as part of the 150th anniversary of Tranøy Lighthouse. What do you see through the eye of the wind? Perhaps it opens a new perspective – like a window to the sea, to history, and to the wind that has always shaped this place.
