Fish Out of Water
10.5 × 10 × 10 cm
Basalt Beach Pebbles, Gold-Gilt Base, Resin
“Fish Out of Water” is a small but eloquent sculpture that captures the tension between belonging and displacement. Two smooth basalt pebbles—one naturally shaped like a leaping fish—are poised above a gold-gilt base that shimmers like sunlit water.
The interplay of dark volcanic stone and luminous gold evokes the fleeting moment when a fish breaks the surface of the sea, suspended between worlds. Its simplicity highlights the power of raw form and natural material to tell a universal story of adaptation, resilience, and the delicate balance between movement and stillness.
A contemplative piece that draws the viewer into nature’s quiet drama.
