Dan Friday’s Aqua Salmon captures the graceful essence of a salmon in a stylized form rendered in cool blue hues of furnace-sculpted glass. The sculpture’s elongated, fusiform body possesses three main sections: a clear tailfin with delicate ripples, a rounded, aquamarine body adorned with a smooth, subtle stripe pattern, and a conical, semi-translucent head of midnight blue. Aqua Salmon’s sleek shape combined with the cool color palette and flowing pattern, gives the impression of fluidity and movement, as if the salmon is made of water itself. Aqua Salmon is a beautiful representation of nature’s elegance, masterfully realized through Friday's refined glassworking techniques and singular vision.
