When Many Become One

This stainless steel mackerel bait ball sculpture is presented as a maquette and conceptual proposal, available for full-scale commissioning. Designed for public plazas, coastal spaces, or private collections, the piece features integrated solar LEDs that create a soft blue glow from the core at night, celebrating ocean resilience and collective survival.

In the ocean, a single mackerel is vulnerable prey, but “when many become one” in a tight bait ball, the group transforms into tornado confusing predators through synchronized motion and flashing scales.

This eco-conscious approach aligns beautifully with the piece’s oceanic theme, just as mackerel schools harness collective energy for survival, this sculpture draws from the sun’s abundant power to illuminate its message of resilience and unity.
