About this piece
Two painted sailfish ornaments dominate the foreground, their cobalt fins and cream bodies edged with yellow-orange against white lattice and dark timber. Bright light reveals the textured surfaces, while shallow focus softens foliage and shelves of colorful objects behind them. Repeated pointed bills carry the eye across the frame, giving the stationary display a lively directional rhythm.
The story
On this March day, light gathers along two slender bills and catches the raised texture of blue paint. The fish hold their course against the lattice, their open mouths fixed in silent motion. Behind them, reds, greens, and yellows dissolve into soft pools of color. An imagined ocean rests here among timber and ornaments, its movement held in painted fins.
