Inspiring location: Maasvlakte in the Netherlands



On the beach near the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam stands the Sand Watch, a striking open sculpture created by artist collective the Observatory. The artwork, commissioned by the Rotterdam Port Authority, marks the completion of the Second Maasvlakte in 2015. Located between the dunes on the beach, the Sand Watch consists of several concrete elements. Together, the elements form a silhouette of a half eclipse. 

The artwork illustrates three stages of dune formation. Due to the upwelling of beach sand, the surface of the artwork keeps changing shape.

In addition, the location stands out for its photogenic character. The natural surroundings form a perfect backdrop, with each angle and perspective creating a new image worth capturing.
