Artwork Description: This sculpture's textured surface and dynamic, swirling form evoke the natural energy and motion of seascapes. Its ridged, layered appearance might symbolize the undulating waves of the ocean or the geological formations shaped by the relentless pounding of the sea over time. The material and its weathered, almost aquatic finish further enhance its connection to marine landscapes, suggesting a harmony between the raw power of nature and the enduring beauty it creates. It could be seen as a representation of the sea's transformative ability to sculpt the world around it.
