Inspired by the ethereal and fragile nature of ocean ecosystems, Submerging VII invites the viewer to pause and observe. With every intentional twist and turn of the wire, I have sought to capture the continuous flow and gentle currents of marine life. The piece is safely housed under a glass dome, a vessel that both protects the wirework and acts as a frame for a suspended moment in time. Because of its transparent encasing, Submerging VII is never entirely static; as natural light shifts and falls across the glass, the wirework casts moving shadows that bring the sculpture to life.
