Aluminum Tuna

A polished aluminum tuna with engraved detail along the body — brushed metal that reads like open water.

The story

Built from formed aluminum sheet and finished bright, this tuna carries hand-engraved scale and fin detail along its whole body. Aluminum keeps the piece light enough for indoor display while holding the shape of a fish built to move. The fin-to-tail line is shaped as one continuous gesture, exactly the way the fish carves when it comes off the water.
