Description
Patinated copper on a stone base. Solid copper casting (not hollow), patinated, protected with UV wax for metals. Sculpture: 12 × 5.5 × 6 cm; stone base: 6 × 6 × 6 cm.
The fugu is cast in copper as a solid form, not a hollow shell. The patina and UV wax protect the surface, making it scratch-resistant. The fish sits on a stone cube—metal against stone, a light form against the weight of the base. The fugu fish embodies the precision of a small sculpture and represents an animal that is both an ornament and a warning. The viewer is meant to feel the coolness of the metal, the density of the cast, and the tranquility with which the figure holds its place.
