OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :

This small figure is reduced to a piece of metal cut out in the shape of a needle from restoring traditional fishing nets, and bent into a human form.

He is a fisherman and his actions depict a sea voyage, as if we were looking at a small fisherman with a tin can as a boat, in the middle of the vast, vast ocean.

This figure is sailing his boat which, when a shipwreck is narrated, is transformed into a coffin where we will bury it in a metaphorical gesture, the intention of which was to convey a highly dramatic image without resorting to a realism that would remove the poetic dimension of the scene.

OBJECT_CONTEXT_EN :

This creation was born as result of the relationship the company has established with the fishing community of Espinho.
