"Ichthys Fragment"

Description:
Ichthys Fragment explores the image of a fish as an ancient and symbolic form, captured at the moment of transformation.
At the core of the piece, the fish itself is hand-carved from natural citrine, turning the gemstone into a sculptural body rather than a decorative element.
The image does not appear literally but emerges organically from the composition, as if shaped by water, pressure, and time.
The surrounding form is created through direct hand carving in wax, followed by traditional lost-wax casting and meticulous hand finishing.
Flowing metal surfaces evoke erosion and natural growth, while clusters of gemstones suggest scales, reflections, and traces of movement beneath the surface.
Ichthys Fragment exists as a single, unrepeated artwork, embodying fluidity, memory, and continuous metamorphosis.
