Kurage

Kurage, meaning jellyfish in Japanese, is inspired by levitating marine bodies and their unexpected movements. This piece was turned with green wood, which Aitor Martínez greatly enjoys working with and cast on the wheel with many hours of sculpting.

It was a challenge to make them harmonious with the body and with each other.
