Grounded by a smooth, dark stone, this piece offers a striking reversal of motion and tension. Three tiny, hand-carved fish are pinned rigidly to their foundation, frozen together in a tight, cautious school. Above them towers a massive, geometric leviathan, tethered to the rock by a tall wire and a single coiled spring.
When the heavy wood is disturbed, the giant comes alive. The whale plunges and sways in a sweeping, dramatic arc, its geometric edges blurring into a heavy, majestic dive. Beneath its massive, swinging shadow, the tiny fish remain perfectly still.
It captures a moment of deep oceanic awe—the overwhelming, kinetic rush of a giant passing overhead, while the small creatures of the sea simply hold their breath and wait for the water to settle.
