I wanted to explore the iceberg metaphor visually. The wood represents the ice itself solid ancient and massive. The water colored resin is the ocean that surrounds it. At the very top I separated the water resin from the rim with a clear layer meant to represent air and the thin line between what we see and what exists beneath the surface.
From most angles you mainly notice the calm surface. But as you move around the bowl more of the structure and depth reveal themselves just like an iceberg where most of its story is hidden below the waterline.
