Kinder Album, born in 1982, created this 'Water' sculpture. It depicts a creature, seemingly aquatic, cradled by hand-like forms. The fish is an ancient symbol, appearing in early Christian art as an emblem of faith. The motif of a creature held by a hand echoes through art history, from depictions of divine hands bestowing blessings to more intimate portrayals of humans protecting animals. The hand, a symbol of power and care, takes on an emotional weight when paired with the vulnerable animal. Here, the protective hands evoke a sense of guardianship but also suggest constraint. It raises questions about our relationship with the natural world, hinting at the complex interplay between care and control, freedom and captivity, and the emotional tension that arises when humankind and animal are so inextricably linked. It seems to reflect our deep-seated anxieties about the natural world. This interplay between the organic and the crafted suggests an emotional depth, reflecting on our complex relationship with nature.
