Fish

Madou Lammers and Stephanie de Araujo, students at Instituto Buena Bista, created the sculpture Fish. In their work, the underwater world comes to life. Inspired by skeletons in museums and constructed from wood and metal, they designed an abstract skeleton of an orca. The pedestal, painted by Stephanie, depicts a dreamy, painted habitat of the animal. The work, which sometimes sways gently in the wind, seems to long for the distant sea — a subtle, poetic reference to life, transience, and movement.
