Jellyfish
8.75” x 8.75” x 1.5”
Delicate, drifting, and constructed from the detritus of modern life, Jellyfish floats between the natural world and industrial artifice. Repurposed materials reimagine a graceful predator of the deep, pulsing in suspended animation.

Suspended in a shadow box like a scientific specimen, Jellyfish captures the delicate menace of a sea creature rendered in synthetic materials. The central plastic form—once utilitarian—is reborn as an ethereal bell, with curling tentacles of translucent tubing radiating outward like a pulse of motion through dark water. Against a black, marbled background, the piece invokes the mystery of deep-sea drift and industrial mimicry of organic life.
