Moana Vll, 2023

Scrap Steel, 5.5 × 8 × 1.5 in

Available

Moana VII depicts an underwater environment shaped by vents, shells, rising air bubbles, and vegetation moving with the current. Curving hand-cut forms give the steel a sense of fluidity, while the oxidation, welds, and natural variation of the metal create the texture of an ocean floor. The work transforms rigid steel into a living seascape, capturing the movement and quiet activity beneath the water’s surface.
