Rejoicing (A Moment of Grace)

This compact sculpture distills the fish into a poised, almost architectural silhouette, where sweeping fins rise like sails and turn the body into a single, rhythmic gesture. The patinated surface—mottled greens and deep browns—carries the memory of water and time, while the polished edges catch light like brief flashes beneath a current. A hollowed eye reads as both vulnerability and aperture, inviting the viewer to look through the creature rather than merely at it, as if the work meditates on presence, absence, and the quiet endurance of living form.
