Commissioned public art installation for Volkshotel, a hotel/artist studio complex in Amsterdam.

The overhang above the entrance of the Volkshotel reminded me of a swimming pool diving board. This simple association led me to assemble quirky sea creatures such as a catfish with green luscious curls holding a lobster rainbow lolly. The Wibautstraat is a long grey concrete monumental axis. With this piece I wanted to bring some playfulness, fantasy, color and absurdity in an austere and serious urban environment.
