“Water” is a captivating sculpture that merges industrial design with the fluidity of nature. Crafted from carbon steel and an abandoned, custom-made bearing from the Edmonton Airport, this piece tells a story of transformation, giving new life to forgotten materials. The bearing, once a functional part of machinery, now serves as the core of this artwork, symbolizing the flow and movement of water.
The sculpture features flat bars skillfully shaped into ripples, which are then attached to the round parts of the bearing. The design captures the dynamic essence of water’s motion—gentle, yet powerful—and its ability to shape the world around it. Each ripple flows seamlessly into the next, creating a sense of continuous movement and fluidity, while the steel’s raw, industrial nature contrasts beautifully with the organic forms it evokes.
“Water” is a striking reminder of the unseen forces of nature, offering a thoughtful and sustainable interpretation of the world’s most vital element. Ideal for contemporary spaces, it serves as a bold, environmentally-conscious statement about repurposing and the interconnectedness of all things.
