A Fusion of Nature and Machine - Collin Douma

​

“Jump the Shark” is a smaller sized sculpture that blends the lethal elegance of a shark with the mechanical strength of a WWII P-38 Lightning airplane. The shark’s sleek, dynamic form is fused with the rugged precision of military aviation, symbolizing the raw power of nature and human innovation colliding.

 

Crafted from metal, wood, and epoxy sculpt, the piece showcases the shark in mid-motion. Airplane wings serve as extended fins, creating a hauntingly powerful image of nature and machine in unison.

 

“Jump the Shark” boldly reflects on the balance between technological progress and the unstoppable forces of nature.
