Encounter

Encounter captures the curious, observant nature of the cuttlefish, a close relative of the octopus and squid known for its remarkable ability to change color instantly. The sculpture conveys the feeling of a cuttlefish studying the world around it, creating an encounter where the animal seems to be looking as intently at the viewer as the viewer is looking at it. Carved from wood, the cuttlefish’s body features spots and swirling patterns that echo the natural markings of the species.
