Amphitrite, the wave and the sea birds (Norwegian: Amfitrite, bølgen og havfuglene) is a 4 m (13 ft) tall stainless steel sculpture by Jørleif Uthaug located in Porsgrunn, Norway.

The work consists of a nude female figure (representing Amphitrite, the wife of Neptune) and two seabirds gliding over a large geometric wave.

Uthaug was at that point an established sculptor in the Norwegian art world, having studied at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry under the likes of Axel Revold, Per Krohg, and Jean Heiberg, and he was well known for his public artworks such as the relief People on a beach (1961) in Troms County Hall and the steel sculpture Expansion (1977) for Mandal City Hall.

[1] The steel wave form was made to Uthaug's specifications at Hamy Sveis AS in Oslo under the leadership of engineer Einar Aurskog.

Perhaps he saw it as a sign that he was finally back on track as a creative artist, with the steel wave's power and the seabirds' flight in his mind's eye.
