PROJECT FOR BFSP#01
This work is a thin metal slice that can be seen in two different ways: from the front it looks like a fish, and from the side like the profile of a man. The piece will be inserted on a wall –like a knife- and will require the viewer to move around to transition from one perspective to the other.
