This sculpture interprets the form of a fish through graceful abstraction. Its tall, sweeping curve suggests the fluid motion of a body cutting through water, bending and lifting as if carried by an unseen current. The circular opening near the top feels like the imprint of a flicking tail- a moment of movement briefly held in space.
The surface texture is one of the piece’s most compelling features. The hand-carved, scale-like pattern gives the stone a rhythmic tactility, allowing light to catch on each facet. This creates a subtle shimmer reminiscent of real fish scales glinting beneath sunlight. The warm ochre tones of the stone, with their natural variations, enhance this organic quality, grounding the sculpture in earth even as it suggests the life of water.
At the top, two fin-like extensions rise in an elegant arc. Their upward lift captures the energy of a fish breaking the surface, turning the sculpture into a symbol of resilience and ascent. The overall form feels balanced yet dynamic, rising with a sense of purpose and quiet vitality.
The base anchors the vertical sweep, offering a steady foundation that contrasts beautifully with the sculpture’s airy, fluid lines.
In this abstract rendering, the artist preserves the essential spirit of a fish- motion, texture, and the instinctive drive to rise, while allowing the viewer to experience it in a fresh, sculptural language.
